    Hi.
    I have a couple of hosts working in ESXi 7.0
    One vm is a Windows 2019 server.

    In the vm settings I put 5  sockets with 2 cores each. But at the  Windows server only 2 cores are shown.

    How can I increase the number of cores in windows ?

    Thanks  in advanced

    What is the reason for changing the default 1 core per socket configuration?  This can cause performance issues, and generally should only be done if licensing absolutely requires it.  Microsoft no longer needs this configuration for Windows, SQL, etc, so why mess with it and potentially cause issues with vNUMA?
