How to change computer processor’s name?

Step 1:
Open Notepad and Paste the Below Code.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0]
“ProcessorNameString”=”Your Processor Name 50000MHz”

Note : Change “Your Processor Name” To Whatever name You Want it To Give. Also Understand That \0 Should Be Present If Windows Stores your Processor name at that location. I recommend you better open Register edit by typing “Regedit” in Run Command and Navigate To above keys To Confirm It is Present.




Step 2:
After you have followed the steps above correctly, you can now give your processor the name you want and save it. (Donot FORGET to save it) . Save it as with any name but with the .reg extension. (The .reg extension symbolizes that it will now deal with your computer’s registry)

For eg : Yourprocessorname.reg Also Make sure you Choose “All Types” in Save as Type.

Step 3:
Now you will have to creat a shortcut OF this file. Right click on Desktop Then New > Shortcut

Now in the location of the item, Type regedit / S “Location of yourprocessorname.reg file”
For Eg : if your Saved File is in ” D ” Drive Then Type regedit /S “D:\yourprocessorname.reg”
Name it.

Step 4:
Place the shortcut you created in the STARTUP folder.. Copy The shortcut and Navigate to Startup folder and paste it.

For Windows Xp Users > C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

For Windows 7/8 Users > C:\Users\ User-Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Note: AppData is a hidden folder so unhide it first By clicking on Folder option> View and Check Show Hidden Files/Folders and Drives.The process is now complete. The registry of your computer will automatically detectthe new processor name and automatically implement it on the next startup.
