The second product name, below that, requires editing the registry.
Open the Registry Editor and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation. If OEMInformation does not exist, you need to create a new key. If you built your computer or installed Windows yourself, odds are the OEMInformation key does not exist.
Look for Model on the right. If you don't have Model, right-click and click on New > String Value.
Double-click on String Value.
Change the Value data to whatever name you like.
Next we can change, add, or remove the information found in Settings > System > About. You can also change the logo, manufacturer name, model, support hours, phone, and URL.
Advanced users comfortable editing the registry can manually create six String Values under the OEMInformation key. You can create six possible String Values: Logo, Manufacturer, Model, SupportHours, SupportPhone, and SupportURL. All of these require you to edit the Value data enter the information you want to display, with the only exception being that Logo references a BMP on your hard drive. Otherwise, it's pretty easy.
Note that Model is the second line you see under Settings. All the other entries are for Settings > About.
