Change Processor Name Permanently

Change Processor Name Permanently Problem:

To, make the name change permanent, it was
required that the user updates the Processor
Name String registry key each time when
Windows starts.

Solution: It is very easy to
change your processor name permanently by
creating a registry key and placing a shortcut to
it in the windows start up folder. To do so, just
follow the steps given below:-

Steps :- 1. Open


Notepad. 2. Copy and paste the exact code
given below:- Windows Registry Editor Version
5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE
\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor \0 ]
"ProcessorNameString"=" My Processor name
50000MHz " To change the processor name, edit
the part of the code given in blue. Also
understand that \0 in the above code should
only be present if Windows store your
processor name at that location. Please open
Registry Editor and navigate to the above
mentioned keys to check whether or not to
include the \0.


3. Click on File Menu, click on
Save As and select "All Types" in Save as Type
option. Save the file as
ProcessorNameChange.reg or *.reg.


4. Create a
new shortcut on your desktop. Enter regedit / S
"Location of the .reg file" as the location of the
item. For example, enter regedit /S "C:
\Processor Name.reg" if your registry file is
located in the root of C:\ drive.


5. Copy the
created Shortcut file.


6. Navigate to C:
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu
\Programs \Startup (in Windows XP) or to C:
\Users\ User-Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (in
Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Also remember that AppData is a hidden
folder.) if C: is your System drive.


7. Paste the
copied file.

This registry file would now
execute each time when Windows starts and
the Processor Name String would be modified
each time. So, even upon restarting your
computer, you will see that the changed
processor name is permanent
