How To Change The Oem Logo On Windows 10

Version: 1.8.0.0

OEM Brander is free portable application designed to allow you to edit OEM branding on a Windows PC. When you buy a PC from a manufacturer, they will usually have the Make, Model and Support information in the Systems Property window, as well as a company logo. OEM Brander enables you to edit this information and to use your own logo, which will be automatically resized and scaled to fit.

Unlike most OEM customization tools, OEM Brander supports editing this information on Windows XP to Windows 8 (and future versions if the process does not change). It also allows you to change the Performance Index Logo and the Media Centre Logo, as well as the Registered Owner and Registered Organisation.

OEM Brander now includes a series of preset data for a variety of manufacturers, plus the ability to import and export these settings to file, to allow you to keep your changes and quickly copy them to another machine. OEM Brander will also attempt to read the make and model of the current machine and can be applied at the click of a button – it will also suggest a matching preset if one is available.
