Trick CPU into thinking its better.

[Derek_85]

I have an Alienware 17 R2 laptop.
I can't run gears of war 4 due to the processor being a 2.6 and the min requires 3.2
is there anyway to trick the processor into thinking its 3.2?
looking for something that a semi computer illiterate person can manage lol

The turbo boost mode of the CPU should be more than enough. Have you actually tried to install the game?

How are you trying to install the game, from downloaded media or from DVD (retail)?

Also, what version of Windows are you running?

Assuming you have Windows 10 installed, do you have the Anniversary update installed (is Windows fully up to date)?

 

[Derek_85]

O_O honestly i have no idea i know its windows 10 home which came with the computer as for it being up to date i would assume so since i never stopped the auto updates.

Check your updates to be sure.

Turbo Boost enables automatically.
