Windows 7 OEM Info Editor refers to a category of third-party, portable software utilities (or scripts) designed to let users easily modify the branding information displayed in the Windows 7 “System Properties” window.
When you buy a computer from companies like Dell, HP, or ASUS, they insert custom logos, support phone numbers, and website links into the operating system. If you perform a clean install of Windows 7, this information disappears. These editor tools allow you to restore that branding or customize it with your own text and logos without manually messing with the Windows Registry. What These Tools Do
Change the Manufacturer Name: Replace the default text with any custom company name or personal handle.
Add a Custom Logo: Embed a custom .bmp image file into the system properties window.
Edit Support Information: Input custom support phone numbers, operation hours, and website URLs.
Modify System Strings: Some advanced versions also allow cosmetic text changes to the displayed processor name, computer model, or owner name. Popular Examples of These Tools
Because Windows 7 is an older operating system, many of these original standalone tools are archived on open-source platforms or classic tech sites:
Windows OEM Information Editor via SourceForge: A simple, open-source open utility specifically built to add, change, and delete these fields.
OEM Configurator: A legacy portable utility widely used during the Windows 7 era to tweak system window properties.
OEM Info Editor via GitHub: A modern, updated version of this concept built on .NET that works on newer versions of Windows. The Manual Alternative (No Software Required)
You do not actually need to download third-party software to change this information. The exact same results can be achieved by using the built-in Windows Registry Editor: Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
Navigate to the following path:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation
If the key doesn’t have them, you can right-click and create String Values (REG_SZ) for any of the following fields: Manufacturer (Your custom text) Model (Your custom text) SupportPhone (Your custom text) SupportHours (Your custom text) SupportURL (Your custom text)
Logo (The path to a 32-bit .bmp image file, ideal size around 100×100 to 120×120 pixels, e.g., C:\Windows\System32\oemlogo.bmp)
Changes will show up instantly the next time you right-click “Computer” and select Properties.
Are you looking to use one of these tools for a personal branding project, or are you trying to remove pre-existing corporate branding from a refurbished computer? thesourabh/OEM-Info-Editor: Edit your Windows … – GitHub
