Windows 10: Windows 10 pro upgrade from XP pro. Boot set to 2 CPUs but only running 1?

Hi Can anyone offer some assistance. Ive upgraded to windows 10 pro on my PC. Its an old Dell Model Workstation T7400 2012 running XP with 2 processors IntelR XeonR CPU X5450. 8 cores. But since the Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, is only finding one processor with 2 cores. I've checked the Bios. Which still recognize's that I have two processors on my motherboard that are fully working and in good order. And I've updated the boot in advanced settings to "set" that I have 2 processors. Oddly again in the Windows drop down it says my processor has only 2 cores. Device manager is also finding the processors.... Any ideas what I can do to fix this ?

XP emulator on Win 10 pro

1. yes.

2. The XP emulator was running under Win 7 pro, but it was not included on Win 10 pro.

3. The short cut for the virtual machine on win 7 pro was carried over to Win 10 pro, but when clicked on I get:

"There was a problem starting C:\WINDOWS\system32\VMCPropertyHandler.dll; The specified module could not be found."

The properties of the short cut provides this location:

"%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\VMCPropertyHandler.dll,LaunchDefaultVM"

Upgrading Windows 10 Home to Pro?

Well, I just installed 10 Home 16299 as a dual boot in a VM that has Pro installed and activated, and I never have installed Home in this VM, and went to activation menu to try and see what happens if I enter a generic key, and it was activated as Home - that I do not understand!

Anyway, I entered generic key and it accepted it and did upgrade.

It did not accept it on a VM without a PRO digital licence.

So here is how to upgrade Home to Pro if it will not accept OEM licence to upgrade. Key steps only - not detail.

1) create a vhd

2) boot from media creation tool

3) press shift+f10 to get to command prompt

4) attach vhd and install 10 pro in vhd

5) activate 10 pro with oem key

6) reboot to Home

7) enter generic VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T key and Home will upgrade and activate

8) delete pro vhd from step 1, and remove boot entry (msconfig)/

I know this works (apart from step 5 as I do not have a pro oem key - only a retail one but I see no reason why it would not activate assuming key is valid.
