Abstract
A computer-based method for automatically loading software components is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: powering on a computer, identifying whether there is an identifier recorded in a desktop management interface (DMI) in a BIOS of the computer, and detecting that the computer is installed with a non-Windows based operating system if the DMI includes an identifier, and that the computer is installed with a Windows based operating system if there is no identifier recorded in the DMI; loading specified application software to the computer if the computer is installed with the Windows based operating system. A related system is also disclosed.
