Search for 'winver' to open the relevant window. (run command)

Can anyone explain why there is no 'user name' or 'org name' in the
License Information area as shown here ....

Is the information showing, or missing, on YOUR computer?

A poster in another group told me this ....

"If you really need or want your specific information to appear, you'll
need to edit the registry: key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion",
values "RegisteredOwner" and "Registered Organization". This data is
informational only. The actual license data is kept in Microsoft's
servers and cannot be modified or seen by the user."

Surely *I* shouldn't need to do that?

Showing.


Are you willing to post an image of what you see, Jonathan?

Well It has my name and my company name, that should suffice. I custom
build my machines so when I install OS I specifically entered the data.
Folks who but OEM usually skip the process or leave the default
