Will the ID change if the system is reinstalled？

Typically, yes. When you install/reinstall an operating system, that's typically when it writes the system GUID. You may want to look into hardware fingerprinting, but that isn't something that this package handles.

E.g. get the serial numbers of the GPU, CPU, HDD, mobo, etc. and hash them.
