An original Equipment Manufacturer or commonly called OEM is a manufacturer that produces parts and components that other businesses used to make finished products. In computers, OEM usually refers to the maker of your computer.
Microsoft allows manufacturers to add OEM data in Windows. They can add information such as name, model, link to the manufacturer’s website, support contact information, logo.
This feature has been around since the days of Windows XP and Windows 98Â and has been maintained in the latest versions of Windows 11.
