  • That's how the OEM install works. After installation, you can add additional software and drivers, customize settings, etc. This is done using the temporary oem user. When you have finished your customizations, you click on Prepare for shipping to end user, which will remove the oem user and all of her files. On the next boot, the user configures her system like during a usual installation.

    The OEM installation is used to configure the system before it is shipped to the end user.
