It really won't matter except for recovery options if it didn't, but just to make sure, post a screenshot of disk management https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...creenshot.html

I just looked on MSI Commander, it is showing the core 0 and core 1 as active and utilized? But in bios, windows, Resource monitor, and pretty much every other monitoring software I've tried is saying its not.

You have the correct partitions on your OS drive.

Press Alt + Control+ Delete at the same time, in the screen that comes up select Task Manager, click on the performance tab and click on the CPU tab. It should show you how many cores and threads you have. You will see I have 6 cores and 12 threads (Logical Processors).

If I needed more information I'd go to the bottom of that screen and click on Open Resource Monitor, click the CPU tab and check how many cores/processors are shown. Right now my 4-core is showing cores 3 and 4 as parked, but then it not doing much else just now.

I have to go out for a while but I'll be back when I can.

On mine that view is the same as for the Overview tab, try the CPU tab.

Ok that is showing it correctly now.
