The only way to guarantee your anonymity is to stay off the internet period. Anything else can, and has, been sniffed, man-in-the-middle-ed, or otherwise compromised on some level. Academic researchers have demonstrated that they can get IPs off of Tor, most common encryption algorithms are potentially compromised, and trying to remain anonymous makes you look like a criminal. Welcome to the information era.

If you are worried I would always run from a VM. Any program you allow to run can fetch information about the OS you run. Browsers send tons of stuff in the headers. Even then I am not real sure how much a VM hides. There used to be instructions that got the serial number off the CPU but I think that has been disabled by intel.

Getting your real IP address is pretty easy to prevent. Your PC itself unlikely actually has the real IP assigned to it. It likely have a private ip assigned by your router so there is nothing in the memory it can even read to get it. What you would have to avoid is that the PC can access external sites that would tell it. This can be done with firewall rules in the router or using the router to force all the PC traffic into a VPN. If all the traffic is forced to a VPN by the router only the router would know the actual real ip address, the pc would think it was connected to wherever the vpn terminates.
