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.
