May 03, 2019 The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) support information in Windows includes the logo, manufacturer, model, support hours, support phone, and support URL for your PC. If you purchased a PC from a vendor, it'll usually already have all of the OEM support information in the 'System' window in Settings and Control Panel. OEM Logo Manager provides some preloaded samples. You can load your own logos, but Windows restrictions require the use of images with BMP extensions and within 180 pixels wide and 114 pixels high. Having looked high and low I cant find any info on how to change the boot logo. All the OEMS have replaced it with their own brand logo ie. Dell, HP, Sony etc so as its shown immediately after.
-->OEMInformation specifies OEM support information that will display in the Get Help app in Windows 10. This information includes the OEM’s support name, and a link to either the URL of their support website, or the URL or their support app. To learn more about the Get Help app, see Customize the Get Help app.
In Windows 10, the OS disables the help components that shipped in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 including the Help and Support Windows desktop application (HelpPane.exe). HelpPane.exe will continue to exist in the box, but calls to its interfaces will result in one of two outcomes:
- If the user is offline, the OS launches the Getting Started app.
- If the user is online, the OS opens a browser instance and redirects the browser to an online topic.
This change affects context-sensitive (or F1) help and accessing help from the menus for apps shipped with Windows including the shell.

Deprecated settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| HelpCustomized | This setting has been deprecated. To customize the Get Help app, define SupportURL or SupportAppURL as part of your OEMInformation. |
| Logo | This setting has been deprecated. No logo is used in the Get Help app. |
| Manufacturer | This setting has been deprecated. The Manufacturer name displayed in the Get Help app is now based on your System Manufacturer value defined in System Information (msinfo32.exe), unless you provide a SupportProvider parameter as part of your OEMInformation. When SupportProvider is provided, it will override the System Manufacturer name. This enables you to differentiate the name of your support app or website from the name of your brand if desired (i.e. 'Contact Contoso Support' vs 'Contact Contoso'). For this release, if SupportProvider is not present but the deprecated value Manufacturer is, it will still be used to support upgrade scenarios. |
| Model | This setting has been deprecated. The Model name displayed in the Get Help app is now based on your System Product Name value, as defined in System Information (msinfo32.exe). |
| SupportHours | This setting has been deprecated. Support hours are not shown in the Get Help app. |
| SupportPhone | This setting has been deprecated. Support phone number is not shown in the Get Help app. |

It is easy to switch the standard user to administrator account for admin rights and access privileges! 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.
