My laptop has a Intel i3 processor which is a dual core running @ 2.4 ghz. MSCONFIG shows I have only one processor. In MSCONFIG I can change the number from 1 to 4 processors. I believe it should be set to 2 processors. I read where I will get better performance if the number of cores are correctly set. Will I screw up my Windows 10 if I change the number of processors? Will Windows think I changed something I should not?
Processor is not the same as Core. By Processor, usually the physical CPU is referred to, and most people have only one.
