What does OEM Info Tool do?
When you buy branded personal computers which come pre-installed with Windows, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) like Dell, Sony, etc. puts in the OEM information, thereby branding the Windows PC. This branding includes logo of the OEM, the support web site along with other information. But when you install Windows yourself from the Windows DVD, this OEM information is never set. This information is absent from the System Properties window. You can use the OEM Info Tool to add or modify this OEM information. You can put in any information you like, setting your personal picture as logo.

OEM Info Tool comes separately both for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems. If you have 32-bit Windows, then double-click on OEMInfo32.exe. If you have 64-bit Windows, then double-click on OEMInfo64.exe.
Backup and Restore
If you have already set OEM information yourself or your OEM has set the information, then OEM Info Tool will show this information on the startup. In this case, it as highly advised that you backup your original information before making any changes. To make a backup of your current settings, select File → Backup. If later you want to restore the settings from the backup, you can choose File → Restore.
Adding and Modifying
If you have not set any OEM information previously, then OEM Info Tool will show up with all fields blank. You can add any information you want. You must fill all the fields and choose a logo file before you can save the changes.

To choose a logo file, click on the button labeled Browse Logo. Alternatively, you can select from menu File → Browse Logo. OEM Info Tool supports many types of images like BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF etc. Ideally, the logo file should be 120×120 pixels in size but OEM Info Tool can resize the larger images to proper size automatically.
After you have filled all the text fields and chosen a logo, click on the button labeled Change to save the information. Alternatively, you can choose from menu File → Change to save the information. After saving the OEM information, you will have to close and reopen the System Properties to see the changes. To open the System Properties window, press the key combination Windows Key + Pause. In Windows Vista/7, you can also right-click on Start Menu → Computer and select Properties to open the System Properties window.

Windows 10 displays information about the make, model and name of your device within the Settings app and Control Panel system page. Usually, you won’t notice anything wrong with this information. However, if you’ve just reinstalled Windows or built your own computer, you might find all the values are showing as “To Be Filled By O.E.M.”
Of course, this has no impact on the functionality of your system. But if you’re anything like this author, you want to give your new self-build PC its own identity – so read on to find out how to change these values to something more useful.
This process does involve editing the Windows Registry, so we’ll leave a standard warning here: although we don’t see how tweaking manufacturer information can negatively impact your system, this isn’t officially supported by Microsoft and it may stop working in the future. Take care when editing the registry; unintentional, malformed or misconfigured edits can cause serious trouble.
To get going, open the Registry Editor (hit the Start button and type regedit). If you’re not an administrator, you will be prompted to reauthenticate as one.
Using the address bar at the top of the window, paste or type the following key:
Note that older versions of Windows 10 don’t have an address bar in the Registry Editor, so you’ll need to manually navigate through the folder-like structure to find the key.
What you’ll see depends on whether your system already has manufacturer information. If it does, you should see several keys besides “(Default)” in the right pane which define different properties of your system. You can double-click these keys to edit their value after following the instructions below.
If you’ve just installed Windows and Control Panel displays your manufacturer information as “To Be Filled By O.E.M,” you’ll probably just have the sole “(Default)” key. When following the instructions below, you’ll need to create new keys for each property – right-click anywhere in the right pane and choose New > String Value. Be careful to ensure its name exactly matches that of your intended property. You can then set its value by double-clicking it.
The available properties are as follows:
- Manufacturer – The manufacturer name to display for your device
- Model – The model name to display for your device
- SupportHours – Used to display manufacturer support information
- SupportPhone – Used to display manufacturer support information
- SupportURL – Used to display manufacturer support information
- Logo – A path to a bitmap format image to use as your manufacturer “logo”; you’ll need to experiment with sizes and formats
Each of these properties is entirely optional – if you’re building your own system, you’ll probably want to omit the support-related ones.

By way of example, let’s suppose you want your PC’s manufacturer to display as “On MSFT” and none of the keys currently exist on your system.
Right-click in the registry editor window, and choose New > String Value. Name the key “Manufacturer” and then double-click it to set its value. Type “On MSFT.”
After editing the keys, you’ll be able to open Control Panel > System and Security > System to see your new information – no reboot required.
