What is an OEM operating system and is there any difference between an OEM version of an operating s

OEM refers to Contract Manufacturing System.

The OEM method is widely used in the manufacturing industry, especially in the rapidly developing information industry. For example, according to the statistics of IDG (International DataGroup), a global authoritative statistical agency, more than 95% of the hard disks used by the world's personal computer manufacturers are provided by the three major hard disk manufacturers, Seagate, Quantum, and WesternDigital, in the form of OEM.

The reason why it can be widely used is that he adapts to the needs of the new competitive situation brought about by the rapid development of global science and technology after entering the 90s. With its flexible and effective operation characteristics, the OEM method has adapted to the development of this new situation, so that it can be widely used.

OEM is simply a buyout relationship, basically the operating system of the computer OEM manufacturers are almost the same, but in the hardware they use is brushed such as the OEM number, suitable for their own brand machine.

Not necessarily able to install,Win7 system appeared late,Earlier computers need to brush BIOS,But now a lot of software can be registered win7.

OEM means OEM, and OEM operating system is software developed by software developers with the trademark of a certain company, such as Lenovo OEM operating system.

Got it, in fact, OEM itself is not an operating system.

There is no difference. The OEM version of the operating system is used to personalize the computer system according to the manufacturer's needs.

For example, the manufacturer's logo icon has been added, and the kernel and cornerstone of the operating system have not changed.

Some manufacturers of brand-name goods often turn to other manufacturers for help because their factories can't meet the requirements for mass production, or they need certain parts. The companies that help are called OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers).

If it were to be extended to the IT sector, it would mean manufacturers of contract manufacturing. For example, CPU fans are not made by Intel or AMD. They usually find a professional motor manufacturer like Sanyo Japan as an OEM fan.

The full English name of the OEM version is called "original equipment manufacturer" Chinese means "original equipment manufacturer", which can be seen that it is for computer manufacturers, which is the version that many brand machines and notebook users will know.

In order to promote its products and expand its market share, Microsoft launched an OEM version of the operating system, the OEM version is no different from the official original version, but it usually lacks some drivers and needs to be installed by itself, which is different from the "retail version" and cannot be on the market**, so it is also called "random version".

OEM systems cannot be upgraded from the old operating system, can only be newly installed, and their packaging is not as gorgeous as the "retail version", often with only a simple manual (authorization letter), some will come with a "system recovery CD", and some only keep a backup system image in the computer.

OEM production, also known as fixed-point production, commonly known as OEM (production), basically means that brand producers do not directly produce products, but use the key core technologies they master to be responsible for the design and development of new products and control sales channels.

The specific processing tasks of the original equipment manufacturer are entrusted to other manufacturers of the same type of products through contract ordering. After that, the ordered products will be bought out at a low price and directly affixed with their own brand trademarks. This type of cooperation is abbreviated as OEM, and the manufacturer who undertakes the processing task is called OEM manufacturer, and the products it produces are called OEM products.

It can be seen that fixed-point production belongs to the "OEM production" mode in processing, and it is the export of labor services based on commodities in the world.

There is no difference. The OEM version of the operating system is personalized according to the needs of the manufacturer, such as adding the manufacturer's logo icon, and the kernel and cornerstone of the operating system have not changed.

Some well-known manufacturers of branded goods often turn to other manufacturers for help because their factories cannot meet the requirements of mass production, or because they need certain parts. These helpers are called OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers).

If it is extended to the IT field, it means those manufacturers who are engaged in OEM. For example, CPU fans, Intel or AMD do not produce them themselves, and they usually find professional motor manufacturers such as Sanyo Corporation of Japan to OEM fan production.

The OEM version is for computer manufacturers to sell along with the computer, which means random version. It can only be shipped with a random device, not retail, so it is called a random version. Can only be installed from a clean install and cannot be upgraded from an older operating system.

If you buy a laptop or branded computer, there will be a random version of the software. The packaging is not as beautiful as the retail version, and there is usually only a CD and instructions (power of attorney). This kind of system usually has fewer drivers, and the current OEM version is rarely installed on a CD-ROM for you, either a recovery disk or a hard disk image.

OEM can't install the BIOS without modifying the machine, for example, Lenovo's genuine XP SP2 disk can only be used for Lenovo's machine.

That is to say, the OEM version of the operating system is directly authorized by Microsoft and is a genuine operating system. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is the original, because in fact.

It can be installed in different brands of machines by modifying the BIOS. The key to whether it is genuine or not is also the serial number.

Many friends don't understand the meaning of OEM letters, and explain that it means OEM production and OEM production.
