I just acquired a desktop workstation with two xeon processors in it.  I just downloaded windows 10 home and it only shows one CPU with one core, when there should be two CPUs with a total of 4 cores.  What do I need to do to fix this?

in the past only professional versions of Windows supported multi processors, 10 is probably the same.

CPU: Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 3960X | Motherboard: Intel DX79SR "Stormville" | RAM: 32GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series DDR3 PC3-12800 (4x 8GB) Quad-Channel | GPU: 2x EVGA GTX 970 FTW 4GB in SLI (I have Many other builds plus 100+ Macs (don't judge me)... Many specs are listed on my profile)

Try and install Windows 10 Professional or higher. As above said, only professional versions supported dual CPU systems. Could be one CPU is dead perhaps?

Pretty sure WIndows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise is required for Multi processor support MUCH LESS Windows Server 2016.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.
