Do you want to show fake specifications of your Windows system to fool your friends or Family? If yes, this article will guide you on how you can display a fake system specification on your Windows. This trick will also work on Windows 7, Windows 10 and Windows 11.Â
Using this trick, you can make them believe that you have a high-end CPU configuration or a CPU configuration that has never been launched. You may even try writing funny messages instead of showing the CPU specification.
You can also take a snapshot of your fake CPU configuration and send it across to your friends to believe you. Since many people are not aware of this trick, you will eventually have someone who will fall for it.
For this trick, we will use Windows Register Editor to change the value of the CPU description. No matter what change you make to the description value after you restart your computer, it will get changed to your real configuration detail as before. Hence, this trick is safe unless you don’t fiddle with other values.
Follow the below steps to Display Fake CPU configurations
Step 1: Press Win + R to Open Run Box, Type “Regedit” and press Enter.
Step 2: In Regedit, Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –> HARDWARE –> DESCRIPTION –> System –> Central Processor –> 0.
Step 3: Now, On the right pane, Find “ProcessorNameString” in the name column.
Step 4: Double-click on “ProcessorNameString” and modify its value data. Change the Value Data as you wish. After Changing the value Data, Press Ok. Suppose you Change to Intel(R) Core(TM) i20-8000U CPU @ 200.70GHz. This detail will be shown on system properties.
Now, Check the System Properties(Press the Windows Logo + Pause Break).
Note: These changes are temporary. If you restart your system, it will change to the default specification that you had earlier.

Thanks for a great and informative post
That's an awesome find, but I have to ask myself why would I fake the config
Hey geek. This is seriously a wonderful post. I could not think of this at all. This would be even more funny if I change the configuration here and sell it off in the market. I would actually be selling it at a very high price :). Hope microsoft finds this bug soon.
It is a pretty cool tweak but I don't really see the whole point of changing your system specs to display something that's not true…
I guess it would be a good joke to fool your friends.

As far as i know, this is not possible because after the restart the system update the entries from system so you can’t fool your system.
You can see the name permanently guys!. Export the edited string, than copy it to the startup folder. I promise 🙂 check mine http://www.jagoancyber.com
