. C:WindowsSystem32oobeyour-logo.bmp. Note: You could put it anywhere, I suppose, and path to it accordingly, but the current OEM logo is probably here, and I prefer to be consistent with. Only OEM customized versions of Windows 10 have these files. If you used installation image from Microsoft, then these information will be missing. However, I managed to obtain these files after long search. You'll find them in this topic with information about files locations. Please let me know, if you need files for ThinkPad devices - I can. The next thing you need to do to change Windows 10 system properties logo file settings is enter the proper path to your logo bitmap file. Double-click the Logo key in order to open up the “Edit string” window and enter the correct path and filename. That part will already take care of the logo in your system properties screen.
-->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.

| Logo | This setting has been deprecated. No logo is used in the Get Help app. |

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.

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. |
