Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Version Identification
Windows may have been preinstalled on your computer. These installations are referred to as OEM installations.

To determine whether you have an OEM installation of Windows, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Locate the number that is displayed under Registered to.

This number typically contains 20 digits. If digits 6, 7, and 8 contain the letters "OEM", you have an OEM installation of Windows.

For example, the following sample Product ID number indicates an OEM installation:
12345-OEM-6789098-76543
If you are using an OEM installation of Windows, contact your computer manufacturer for general Windows support.
