How do I Find the Number of Core Processors in Windows?
- 1). Open the System control panel by clicking "Start," right-clicking "Computer" and clicking "Properties."
- 2). Open the Device Manager by clicking "Device Manager" in the left sidebar of the System control panel window.
- 3). Expand the list of processors by clicking the arrow to the left of "Processors" in the Device Manager Window.
- 4). Count the number of processor entries under "Processors." Each core appears as a separate processor on a separate line, although they all have the same name. For example, the same processor name listed four times indicates the processor has four cores.
