There a way to disable Windows hardware reporting?

 Wow, haven't been here since the original technet program ended. Hope they someday bring that back.  
 I'm in the process of 3 brand new Z690 builds, and some parts are on back order a few weeks, so need to test what is sent, without Microsoft recording those items meant for the real build, and wondering if there is a way to disable the recording feature, so I can test the equipment without fear of those items now being recorded and then not usable in my new builds.  
 In 2018, purchased two windows 10 licenses for two completely new 100% builds. Ram, NVME, GTX, CPU, and motherboard. Since the motherboard was on back order, needed to test the items that came in case any were bad which at the time, didn't know info was recorded, so when I got the motherboards in and assembled all the parts I tested, I went to install the new licenses, and ran into a whole lot of trouble, because the tested parts were no longer considered new, only the motherboard. It took me a week and a lot of calls, sending copies of invoices from Newegg, to get the matter settled. I'd rather not have a repeat, especially with 3 new builds. Shutting off wifi, may sound like an easy fix to test, but soon as the system connects, all that info will be sent regardless. There a way to get around this? Thanks.
