Yes to the software if you dont know what you are doing. No to the hardware, well not really....

What is it you want to do?

Create a video on changing the color of the hot tracking color in the registry and highlighting color. Just to be careful dont want to hurt someones pc.

Depends what you're changing.

Some values are pretty safe to change, like colors, disabling cortana, etc.

However, some registry values are critical to Windows and if you mess with them in the wrong way, you may corrupt your OS and will need to re-image your whole computer.

I haven't ever heard of someone damaging hardware with registry changes though.

Sure.

However you should probably include a warning that everything is at their own risk.

I would definitely put a warning at the start of the video that everything they do is at there own risk, and to only continue if they understand the risk.
