    Hello! I have typed in the statement into the vmx file of my VM, and it successfully reflects the System Name and Manufacturer. However, it retains the BIOS Version/Date which states VMware, Inc.

    Is there any way to work around this? I'm hoping it can at least be renamed, or reflected in my actual BIOS too (AmericanTrends)

    I have tried to modify the BIOS bit on regedit (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) > SYSTEM > BIOS > BIOSVendor/BIOSVersion to no avail as it just put itself back to VMware.

    Can anyone please help me?

    Thank you and I appreciate it.
