Default Disk change alters Prime95 PC identity?

Not an issue at all, but just curious as to why upgrading to a new disk (via cloning) for a PC running Prime95 causes it to be seen as a different computer by the server.

No other hardware changes were made besides the disk upgrade.

It appears that disk ID or serial number is part of a hash for system identity.

I used the "Merged checked CPUs" to straighten things out, but the Confidence rating for the system is reset to zero...

Prime95 asks Windows for a unique identifier for the system. So, the answer is Windows generated a different id due to the hardware change.
