change your processor name:

So what?s the configuration of your computer ?  Intel? Core? i3 -  How about changing it to ?Intel Core i7?.  Sounds fun ? Let?s do it then.
So by now you know that we are going to accomplish this by modifying windows registry.
How to check my current processor name :
Let show you what my current processor is.
Windows XP and windows7  both users can see it by right clicking on My Computer and then properties.

As per the screenshot above, I have Intel? Core ? i3 CPU, Now I am goanna change it.
The name of the processor is saved in the key ?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0? , The value is ?ProcessorNameString?.

How can I Change Processor Name : 

1.Open registry editor,by typing regedit.exe in run dialog box.  If you don?t know How to do it, Read ?how to open registry editor?
2. If you are a windows 7 .User, make sure to open regedit as Admin,or right click on run and click on "run as administrater".                
3.Navigate to ?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0?
4.Look for the value name : ProcessorNameString as per below screenshot.
5.Double click on this and then Put anything you want, For example I am going to put ?Intel Core i7? 
6.Hit Ok and close the registry editor.



It?s time to see the new value. I have just upgraded my processor to Intel i7 without spending a penny Smile with tongue out

We have changed the name now, Open system properties again and you can see your computer is ready with Intel Core i7 Processor. Cheers.
Well, That?s cool.  8)



I want to know more about this, how it works :

When windows boots, NTDetect  detects the hardware and then passes the information to kernel,later on this hardware information is saved in a volatile registry key ?HKLM\Hardware?. As this data is volatile, When you reboot your computer, any changes you made here will be lost. So after a reboot, you will see your originalconfiguration.
