General: Add OEM Information and Logo in System Properties and Settings Page in Windows

Computer manufacturers usually include their OEM brand info and logo in 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. In Windows 10, the custom strings are shown in the modern Settings app (About your PC page) as well.

Add OEM Information and Logo in System Properties

1. Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER

2. Navigate to the following location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation

If the OEMInformation key is missing, you’ll need to create one manually.

3. Create string values (REG_SZ) and add matching data, as per the table below:

Value name	Data	Value type
Logo	{Path to your logo file}*	REG_SZ
Manufacturer	{System manufacturer name}	REG_SZ
Model	{System Model number}	REG_SZ
SupportHours	{Support hours}	REG_SZ
SupportPhone	{OEM Support Phone number}	REG_SZ
SupportURL	{OEM Support URL}	REG_SZ

4. Exit Registry Editor.

* Note: The logo should be a BMP file with the dimension of 120×120. Logos larger than 120×120 pixels are scaled to 120×120. Place the file in the C:\Windows\System32\ folder and name it OEMlogo.bmp

You can also create a OEMInfo.reg file with the following contents

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation]
"SupportHours"="Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (CST)"
"SupportURL"="http://www.dell.com/support/contents/us/en/19/Category/Product-Support/Dell-Subsidiaries/alienware-support-site/?~ck=mn"
"SupportPhone"="1-800-624-9897"
"Manufacturer"="Alienware"
"Logo"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\OEMlogo.bmp"
"Model"="Aurora R5"

Change the data as appropriate for your system. Save it and by double clicking on it, it will offer to add it to the registry for you.

* Note: The file path to the logo must be entered with double back-slashes or it will be ignored by the Registry.

Sample

I’ve customized the support information page by populating it with sample entries. Here is the screenshot:

And the related registry entries.

Windows 10 – System Settings (About) Page

This also works in Windows 10. In Windows 10, the OEM information would be displayed in the classic System information applet as well as in the modern System Settings > System > About page.
