Windows 10 only showing base clock speed in system properties

[MonstrousOgre]

This might sound like a noob question but this is what I'm getting

In all of the previous machines that I've owned (which were all laptops), I had the base clock speed on the left and the turbo speed on the right. But that clearly isn't the case here.

I have turbo boost enabled in the BIOS and it even says that it can go up to 4.2 GHz.

Is Windows really preventing me from overclocking or is the reading wrong?

It always shows that. It is completely normal.

It a spec page, not performance monitoring

So why are there two? My laptop shows the overclock speed on the right

So both CPU-Z and the Windows Task Manager show my clock speed as higher than that. I guess I have nothing to worry about

I'm still curious to know what the other speed is though.

What windows is showing you is the base speed of your cpu.

Windows 8 laptop and I see two different speeds for my CPU. I have no idea why laptops and desktops would show differently?

Never owned a laptop. Always built desktops for gaming. So I have no idea why the difference either.
