Hi, I recently updated my lenovo laptop from dos to windows 10, but after this lenovo logo which appears after going to properties from my computer is missing, and also OEM information is empty from registration directry. You'll need following 2 files in 'WindowsSystem32' folder to show OEM information and logo in. Unfortunately, my TechNet subscription doesn’t offer Windows 8 Pro edition, so I grabbed the enterprise edition. (by the way, if you are confused between Windows 8 editions, be sure to get to know all the Windows 8 editions before purchasing your upgrade) No activation is fine and ok for me, until I wanted to change my Start screen’s.

1. Activate Windows 8.1 Oem

Info Microsoft (c): Whether you sign in to your PC with an email address (to access your Microsoft account) or a user name and password, for everyday tasks, it's best to use a standard account. A standard account can help prevent people from making critical changes, such as deleting files that are required for the PC to work. You can create a standard account for each person who uses your PC. When you're signed in with a standard account, you can do almost anything that you can do with an administrator account. But if you want to do something that affects other people using the PC, such as installing software or changing security settings, you might be asked to enter a password for an administrator account.

If you bought your computer from and important retailer you might have observed that when you select Properties for 'My Computer' a logo and some information about that retailer is present.

By default, Windows do not provides any such information under the My Computer properties window unless it is edited by the retailer. So what is the OEM? OEM is the acronym for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Original equipment manufacturer is a company that builds products or components which are used in products sold by another company.

Does your Windows show such information? If not, wouldn't it be cool to add your own information and logo? Yes, I know it would. But how can it be done because Microsoft did not supply any option regarding this issue? We will do a little tweak. The information does not need to be added to the registry. It is stored in an .INI file. You just need to create such a file.

Open the Notepad to create a new file. Inside place something similar to this:

[General]Manufacturer=Softpedia ComputerModel=TEST

[Support Information]Line1=Free downloads encyclopediaLine2=Line3=http://www.softpedia.comLine4=Line5=Windows, Games, Drivers, Handheld, Mac, Linux, Mobile, NewsLine6=

You can add any information to those lines. It's your option.Once you created this file save it in the format OEMINFO.INI and place it into the following folder: WindowsSystem32.

Next step is to create a logo. The logo must be in BMP format with 256 colors. Create/edit an image and save it OEMLOGO.BMP inside the above mentioned folder: WindowsSystem32.

Note that the logo won't work alone without the OEMINFO file. So it's mandatory to have both files placed inside the System32 folder. On the other hand, OEMINFO.INI can work without the logo, which is optional.

Before adding the OEM information.

After the OEM information and logo has been added

Activate Windows 8.1 Oem

.That's all! Pretty simple, isn't it? More than that, you do not need to restart your computer either, because the information will be immediately collected by Windows and shown when you open My Computer properties.
