Hello!
Dear friends, my name is ARYA. Today I am going to show you! How to set OEM information on any Computer. Let's See.
What is OEM Information?
OEM Information refers to the Original Equipment Manufacturer information that is embedded in the firmware of a computer or device. This information includes details about the manufacturer, model number, product name, and other relevant details related to the hardware.
This information is used by the operating system and other software to identify the computer or device and to provide drivers or updates specific to the hardware. OEM information can also be used by computer manufacturers to brand their devices with their company name and logo.
Users can view OEM information by checking the system properties or system information settings on their computers.
You can set the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) information on Windows using the System Properties window. This information includes the manufacturer name, model, support URL, and logo that appears on the System Properties window and on the About Windows dialog box.
Here are the steps to set OEM information on Windows:
- Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R.
- Type "sysdm.cpl" in the Run dialog box and press Enter. This will open the System Properties window.
- Click on the "Advanced" tab.
- Click on the "Settings" button under the "User Profiles" section.
- Click on the "Add" button to create a new user profile.
- Enter a name for the new user profile and click on "OK".
- Select the newly created user profile and click on the "Copy To" button.
- In the "Copy To" window, enter "%WINDIR%\System32\oeminfo.ini" in the "Copy profile to" field and click on "OK".
- In the "oeminfo.ini" file, enter the OEM information such as the manufacturer name, model, support URL, and logo.

Note: You need administrator privileges to perform these steps.

[General]
Manufacturer=Your Manufacturer Name
