OEM Assigner: Add Device Information and Logo to Windows 11 System Settings

Today we are releasing a free portable app “OEM Assigner” for Windows which will help you in adding useful information about your PC to System Settings. The information contains device manufacturer name, your device model, phone number, website URL and a logo image of the manufacturer company. The app can be used in almost all Windows versions including Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11.

What is OEM Information? Details for Interested Users

OEM information is a very old feature present in Windows operating system. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer which means a company which makes parts and components that are used by other companies to make the final product. In computer world, generally OEM means your computer manufacturer company.

Since the good old days of Windows XP and Windows 98, Microsoft has allowed these companies to add their information such as name, website, logo, contact number, etc to System Properties. The same feature is still present in the latest Windows 11 operating system.

There is no UI option or setting provided to add OEM information to Windows System properties. We need to modify Windows Registry to add the information.

There are 2 different methods to add OEM information to Windows: Old method applicable to Windows 98/2000/Me/XP and new method applicable to Windows Vista and later Windows versions.

Long time back, we shared these methods with detailed instructions in following tutorials:

The above tutorial inspired our reader “S96” and he developed an excellent software “OEM Assigner” to add OEM information and logo to Windows automatically without any need of modifying Registry.
