In Windows10, in Cortana type MSCONFIG, BOOT tab, ADVANCED button. Click on Number of Processors check box and enable all 8.

I'm surprised it worked at all, that motherboard doesn't officially support FX CPUs

You need a newer motherboard with AM3+ support I think.
Personally I wouldn't be upgrading at all, there is not much to be gained on this older hardware.

sorry my bad, there are some on that list, it uses model numbers instead of CPU names and I missed it.
Still the highest FX listed is an 8320E and the 8350 is not on the list

The motherboard will support the fx8350 but don't expect to do a huge overclock it's only got 4+1power phases and will throttle if pushed too hard.
