How to Fool Your Friends by Changing Your Processor's Name!

Hello Friends...

I’ve got a super funny trick to share today! Ever wanted to trick your friends into thinking you've got a super high-end processor like a Core-i10 or something even more insane? Well, you can easily do this by tweaking your processor’s name via the Registry Editor. It’s a harmless prank that’ll definitely get a few laughs. 😄

Steps to Change Your Processor’s Name:

1. Open the Registry Editor:

   • First, you’ll need to access the Registry Editor. Just press Windows + R to open the Run dialog, type "regedit", and hit Enter.

2. Navigate to the Processor Name String:

   • In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path:
     • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > HARDWARE > Description > System > CentralProcessor > 0.

3. Modify the Processor Name:

   • Once you’re in the "0" key, you’ll see an entry named "ProcessorNameString" on the right side.
   • Right-click on "ProcessorNameString" and select "Modify".
   • Change the value to whatever processor name you want! Be creative—how about "Core-i10 Ultra Super Edition"? 😜

4. Exit and Refresh:

   • After making the change, simply exit the Registry Editor and refresh your desktop. Your new processor name will show up in your system properties!

Important Note:

The next time you reboot your system or power it on, it will automatically detect the actual CPU configuration and reset the processor name to its default. So, this trick is perfect for a quick laugh but won't cause any permanent changes. Let your friend be fooled for a moment, and then watch their reaction when they realize the truth!
