Answer 1

//you can use this
//its working with me very fine on windows 10
//replace the word bios with any hardware name you want
//data also can be found with using windows application named (wbemtest) 

using System.Management;
public static async Task ReturnHardWareID()
        {
            string s = "";
            Task task = Task.Run(() =>
            {
                ManagementObjectSearcher bios = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_BIOS");
                ManagementObjectCollection bios_Collection = bios.Get();
                foreach (ManagementObject obj in bios_Collection)
                {
                    s = obj["SerialNumber"].ToString();
                    break; //break just to get the first found object data only
                }
            });
            Task.WaitAll(task);

            return await Task.FromResult(s);
        }
