Activate multi-core processors under Windows 7
If Windows 7 is installed on a computer with more than one processor core, unfortunately only one core is activated.
Why Windows 7 does this remains a Microsoft secret. If there are two cores, they should be used.
However, the way to activate all available processor cores is no secret.
To do this, go to Start >> Run.
Now give: msconfig and press Enter.
In a new window, go to Start >> Advanced options.
Here now before Number of processors put the check mark.
You can now select how many processors the computer has.
Click on Ok — Apply to apply the settings.
Now only a restart has to be carried out.
