OEM Info Tool is a little tool that allows you to add or modify the OEM information you see when you open the System Properties window. It works on Microsoft Windows Vista, 7 and 8.
In terms of Windows software and usage, the OEM and retail Windows are identical. You get all the features as well as the unstoppable software updates. The OEM Windows has its product key tied to. First of all download the OEM Info Tool from the Downloads section. Extract the ZIP archive to any folder of your choice. 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.
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.
