This is the button you want to press if you just installed Windows 7 on your computer, easiest and fastest way to apply branding. You might want to change OEM-brand in the list by clicking the down arrow right next to the button

2. Refresh Explorer
Sometimes the UAP (User Account Picture) may not change when your new theme is applied, if it doesnt use this buttin and you should be good!

Best way to REMOVE ALL BRANDING is to use this button called clean, very selfexplanatory

With this option you can set wallpaper, logon image, theme and ALSO the OEM info such as model, manufacturer, support phone etc, this will be visible when rightclicking My computer and then Preferences. You can access preferences by clicking System instead. Also there are two other options to either enable or disable user tile, this option is for users who cant change their UAP due to it being pre-installed, if you enable it you wont be able to set UAP from the control panel

7. AIO tool
With this option you are able to create a socalled Windows 7 AIO (All In One) By doing that you can have one (1) ISO/USB with all windows 7 editions instead of two (2), you can choose either copy to USB or create a ISO to be burned on DVD, you can also apply 64Bit recovery mode, OEM Branding and SLIC 2.1 Activation. Before doing that make sure to set label :)

First choose your folder where you copied W7 Installationfiles, then choose version (Any between 7 Starter to Ultimate or enterprise), then press mount. It will mount to the Tasks folder. After you simply choose what you want to integrate either single update, driver or a complete folder with them. Whenever you are done you have to unmount it by pressing Unmount Commit option will save changes while discard will undo them.
