After completing this task, your image will be displayed as mine. 

Procedure | 2 Stages

The whole task is to be divided into 2 stages. At first, we've to prepare your image. And then we've to work in Windows Registry Editor. You must be careful enough to finish the task properly. Cause if you miss any point this trick may not work . . . 

Stage 1 - Preparing the Image

1. Choose an image that you wanna display on your system information.
2. Open that image in Photoshop. Resize or crop the image to make it smaller.
3. It shouldn't be too large. Keep the size within 200 to 250 pixels.
4. Go to File > Save as > BMP i.e. Your filename will be like Munna.bmp

Your image is ready. Now copy and paste this image i.e. Munna.bmp to the following location of your Computer - 

C:\Windows\System32\oobe

After pasting the image it should look like the image below - 

That's it. Now you're eligible for the next stage. 

Stage 2 - Working with the Registry Editor

1. Press Start + R > Type regedit > Press Enter > Hit Yes
2. This will open Registry Editor window
3. Now go to this location step by step -  Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation
4. Click right mouse button either over the OEMInformation or on the right side blank area > String Value > Rename the string as Logo. 
5. Now double click on the Logo and input the following code into value data -   %systemroot%\System32\oobe\Munna.bmp  
   
6. Press OK and get out of Registry Editor window.

Now press Start + Pause to view your system information or simply go to Desktop > Right Click over My Computer/ This PC > Choose Properties > See the magic!
