This is a simple translation of my previous article. Sorry for my English.

This was my score before I began modifying my score:

(Laptop PC ;) )

This is how you easy can change your Windows Experience Index score in Vista:

  1. Open the following folder: %windir%\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore\.
  2. Then edit the newest XML-file in this folder. I recommend you to use XML Notepad 2007, or just use Wordpad.
  3. Now you can modify your scores, by changing the following values in the XML-file:

    You can only use values between 1.0 and 9.9.
  4. When you are satisfied with your new score, just save it as a XML-file somewhere on your computer.
  5. Copy/move this file to the folder, by overwriting the old file.
  6. Questions? Feel free to leave a comment.

My new scores: :D

TIP 1: Don’t make your base score higher than the lowest subscore. “Base score: Determined by lowest subscore.� ;)

Example:

TIP 2: You can get back your old WEI score, by updating your score.

Shortcut to the control:

%systemroot%\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.PerformanceInformationAndTools

Important: I don’t recommend you to upload your modified score to Share Your Score.
