That does not make sense. A model identifier, uniquely identifies your computer model so its general specifications can be known. i.e Model XXX means the computer has X processor, supports X Ram amounts, has Z ports, etc...


It defines what your computer has and can do.


If it were possible to change it, it would only be confusing, since it would identify a different model of computer with different specs that one you have. So you would end up identifying your computer as one thing, when in reality it is something else.


Perhaps if you explain what it is you want to accomplish by changing it we can provide suggestions on how to do it.
