OEM is short for Original Equipment Manufacturer, who produces products and components that he doesn’t sell to the consumer, but to other manufacturers.

In this article, you will learn how to find Computer Serial Number stated change to be filled by OEM.

A well-known example is a PC with Microsoft Windows, built and sold by Dell or HP. In this case, Microsoft is the OEM. While an original equipment manufacturer is similar to a value-added reseller (VAR), the term refers specifically to the act of a company branding a product to its own name and offering its own warranty, support, and licensing of the product.
The term is really a misnomer because OEMs are not the original manufacturers. Instead, they customize the original product.
When you run these commands “wmic bios get serialnumber” and “Wmic computersystem get model” as shown in the diagram below
