Change Windows Oem Info
Windows 10 allows users to add, edit or remove OEM support information. This article will show you how to quickly edit OEM information.
Yep, very simple. I used group policy preferences to push out a company logo, and also to set the registry key. You can also set OEM information; for example, manufacturer and model, above the system information. Computer manufacturers usually include their OEM brand info and logo in the System Properties applet when preinstalling Windows. This article tells you how to add or modify the custom OEM information strings in the System Properties window in Windows Vista, 7, 8, and Windows 10.
When buying a new computer, you can see OEM support information. This information includes computer model, manufacturer logo, support URL and other details. On Windows 10 you can easily see this OEM support information on the Settings page and in the System Properties window.

If you bought your computer from and important retailer you might have observed that when you select Properties for 'My Computer' a logo and some information about that retailer is present.
By default, Windows do not provides any such information under the My Computer properties window unless it is edited by the retailer. So what is the OEM? OEM is the acronym for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Original equipment manufacturer is a company that builds products or components which are used in products sold by another company.
Does your Windows show such information? If not, wouldn't it be cool to add your own information and logo? Yes, I know it would. But how can it be done because Microsoft did not supply any option regarding this issue? We will do a little tweak. The information does not need to be added to the registry. It is stored in an .INI file. You just need to create such a file.
Open the Notepad to create a new file. Inside place something similar to this:
[General]Manufacturer=Softpedia ComputerModel=TEST
[Support Information]Line1=Free downloads encyclopediaLine2=Line3=http://www.softpedia.comLine4=Line5=Windows, Games, Drivers, Handheld, Mac, Linux, Mobile, NewsLine6=
You can add any information to those lines. It's your option.Once you created this file save it in the format OEMINFO.INI and place it into the following folder: WindowsSystem32.
Next step is to create a logo. The logo must be in BMP format with 256 colors. Create/edit an image and save it OEMLOGO.BMP inside the above mentioned folder: WindowsSystem32.
Note that the logo won't work alone without the OEMINFO file. So it's mandatory to have both files placed inside the System32 folder. On the other hand, OEMINFO.INI can work without the logo, which is optional.
