On win 8.1 go to Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), right click process, click "go to details", then right click on process, and click "set affinity" and select cores you want that process to run on.
On win7 just right click on the process and click "set affinity"

Yeah, If you open up Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc) and go to processes tab, you can right click on any process and assign the cores that you want it to use by using "Set Affinity...". You would have to this everytime though so it seems like it would be a time consuming process but you can give it a shot.

You can set processor affinity and process priority through the Task Manager but this is a legacy tool and offers few guarantees. Applications are able to configure the affinity and priority on a per-thread basis, in which case the one configured in task manager applies only to the first thread in the process and only until the process overrides the settings for that thread. Instead, you should use software that provides configuration options for setting affinity, and if necessary, priority.
