I have installed Windows 8 Pro with media center on my Desktop PC. For my AMD FX 6100 it shows only 3 cores, whereas in my earlier version Windows 7 Ultimate it shows 6 cores. How to solve this problem?
 
Solution
Try this:

Open "System Configuration". (Windows + R), type in "msconfig" and press OK.
Under "Boot" Tab click on "Advanced Options" and check "Number Of Processors" and select 6.
Press OK.
Reboot.

I hope that works.
