I did a search for this problem and I only find from 2009 some answers. Only no one gives a solution to this problem. Someone posted a comparison chart for all the windows 7 flavors and it shows that home-premium can see 2 cpu's. Only mine does not. All other progs have seen the cpu's. I had to reinstall so I installed the home/premium. Is there anyplace to get some info on this please..
Many kajillion thanks. If someone can really help, I will send a T-Shirt from our

If your Home Premium is a retail version you can (transfer it) use it on another PC. OEM versions are tied to the first motherboard they are activated on. I have heard reports that people have manged to transfer an OEM version to another PC. I guess it all depends on what you say to the Microsoft representative when you do the phone activation.

That's why it is important to do your research before making a purchase. No version of Windows Home/Home Premium supported multiple processors before.
I know people get confused, but they usually over-complicate the issue. Cores don't count as processors. A single core processor and a quad core processor are both one processor. When you look into OS support, you look into the number of CPU's your motherboard has, aka how many sockets.
