You should be able to check using the task manager?

 

Start the tasl manager

Click the Performance tab

Select CPU

If it is only showing the overall CPU useage, right click on the graph and choose "change graph to.." and then choose "logical processors"

 

 

Hope that helps

 

EDITED TO ADD: This is for Windows 8.1

On my system (Windows 7 ) its slightly different to this.

Start the task manager

Click the Performance tab

Click Resource Monitor button

Select CPU tab on new window

> I then have 4 graphs down RHS showing my 4 cores.

thank you for that. I've now found out that I've only got a duel core when I thought I was running a quad core
