OEM Info Editor: Customize Your PC’s Manufacturer Logo and Info
Ever noticed the “Manufacturer” or “Support” information listed in your Windows System Properties? If you bought a pre-built PC from Dell, HP, or Lenovo, this section often features their logo, support phone number, and website.
However, if you built your own PC (a “custom rig”), this section is likely blank or displays generic information. The OEM Info Editor is a simple, portable utility designed to bridge this gap, allowing you to add a personal touch to your PC’s system properties. What is OEM Info Editor?
The OEM Info Editor is a tool that lets you customize the “About” page in your Windows settings without diving into the complex Windows Registry. Key Features:
Logo Customization: Set a custom logo (.bmp) to represent your custom PC build.
Manufacturer Info: Change the manufacturer name to your own (e.g., “My Custom Rig”).
Support Details: Add your own support hours, phone number, or website.
Portable: No installation required, simply run the executable.
Easy Reversion: Easily edit or remove the information later. Why Customize Your OEM Info?
While it doesn’t improve performance, customizing OEM information is a fantastic way to:
Personalize Your Rig: Add a personalized logo (like a custom gaming logo) to make your computer feel truly yours.
Add Professionalism: If you build computers for friends or family, adding your own branding makes it look professional.
Convenient Support Info: If you are the “tech guy” for your family, you can add your own contact info in case they need help. How to Use OEM Info Editor
Using the tool is straightforward. It is designed to work seamlessly on Windows 10 and 11.
Download: Download the tool from a trusted source (like its GitHub page).
Prepare Your Logo: Prepare a .bmp image file (24-bit color). It is recommended to use a small size (approx. 120 × 120 pixels) so it fits properly. Run the Editor: Launch the OEM Info Editor tool.
Edit Fields: Enter your desired manufacturer name, model, and contact details. Select Logo: Point the tool to your prepared .bmp image.
Save: Click “Apply” or “Save” to update the system properties. Manual Method: Using Registry Editor (Alternative)
If you prefer not to use third-party tools, you can edit this information manually via the Windows Registry. Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation. Modify the following String Values: Manufacturer Model Logo (Path to your .bmp file) SupportPhone SupportURL
If a value doesn’t exist, you can create a new String Value and name it accordingly. Conclusion
Customizing your OEM information is a small, aesthetic tweak, but it adds a high-end, personalized look to your computer. Whether you use the OEM Info Editor for a quick edit or dive into the Registry, this customization makes your PC feel completely custom.
Note: The tool is designed for Windows 11 (64-bit) and requires .NET 8. If you are interested, I can also provide: Examples of creative logos to use
