windows 10 not recognizing second cpu.

[Tozols]

hy i bought a hp proliant dl360 g5 server ( ddr2ram-16gb 2* xeon e5450 3ghz qad core) for gaming. i bought new hdd fo the server/pc and installed windows 10 64-bit.

problem- computer>properties on system spec shows up only one of 2 cpu. (only one cpu is runing on windows). but in bios when i am turning on my system (where system spec show) shows that i got 2 cpu installed. is there something that i need to turn on or download to make the second cpu run? is there some driver to install for dual cpu or something?



sorry for my bad English i try my best

Really hard to find a definitive answer but I believe windows home will not support multi cpus. Which version do you have?

windows 10 home.

Pretty sure you need windows 10 pro to use the second cpu

Must have Win 10 Pro or above for dual CPU:

Everything is working there.
E5450 has 4 cores/4 threads. 2 cpus give you 8 cores/8threads. That's exactly, what you see there.

Can you post screenshot from Task Manager/ Performance/ CPU/ and change graph to logical processors ?

That is exactly what 2 4 core 4 threaded cpus should read... What did you expect

You did not say which version of windoor 10 you are usinG, but the home edition only supports 1 physical cpu. You need windows 10 pro for a dual cpu system.

What does msconfig Boot/Advanced options show?
Number of processors should be unchecked:
