There are a myriad of articles in any language of your choice about Signature Edition, and they all invariably contain a sentence along the lines of, “Microsoft controls the software that ships on these PCs, and they strip out the worst stuff to ensure you have a clean copy of Windows with only useful utilities and drivers,” according to HowToGeek. And if there are bits of information you don’t want included-like, say, a support phone number-you can just delete that entire line.In the face of popularized security gaffes like Superfish and eDellroot, consumer-facing technical outlets sing a common refrain: “Microsoft Signature Edition is the way to go!” Just make sure you leave the quotes in place. For example, you’d want to replace “Manufacturer_Name” with the actual name you want to use. Replace the information in the hack with the information you want to use. After downloading and unzipping them, right-click the “Add Manufacturer Information” hack and choose the “Edit” command from the context menu. Of course, since we don’t know what information you want to add, you’ll have to edit these hacks a bit before you use them. Both hacks are included in the following ZIP file. The “Remove Manufacturer Information” hack removes those values. The “Add Manufacturer Information” hack adds all of the values you’ll need. If you don’t feel like diving into the Registry yourself, we’ve created some registry hacks you can use. If you want to restore information that was previously there, you’ll need to change each value to put the old information back. If you ever want to remove the the changes, just go back to the OEMInformation key and delete all the values except for the (Default) value. All the information you entered should now show up in the “System” window. The changes will take place immediately, so no need to restart your PC. When you’ve added the information you want, you can close Registry Editor. For the best results, you’ll want to use a small logo picture-around 100×100 pixels.

To replace the file, you’ll need to have administrative privileges on the PC since it’s in a system folder. Then all you have to do is replace that file with a picture of your own that’s named the same. Alternatively, if the value already exists and you want to use the current path, you can leave the value at its default, which is typically: C:\Windows\System32\oemlogo.bmp

If you’re adding a logo, just type the full path to the image you want to use. When you have the values added that want (or if they were already present), double-click each value to open its properties window, type the information you want displayed into the “Value data” box, and then click “OK.” If you’re replacing information, you may want to write down the information you’re removing so that you can put things back the way they were if the need arises. Name the new value using one of the names from the list and make sure it’s named exactly as shown, with no spaces.
To add a value, right-click the OEMInformation key and choose New > String Value. You don’t have to add all the values-just the ones you want to show up. If your PC doesn’t have these values, you’ll need to add them. If your PC already has manufacturer information, you’ll see several string values in the OEMInformation key. In the Registry Editor, use the left sidebar to navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation
