    Computers only use as much CPU and RAM as they need to perform the tasks given them.

    Hi!

    What exactly do you mean by maximum CPU capacity? Please be more specific and provide more details about the problem you are experiencing.

    What is the exact model and specifications of your Dell laptop?

    • Press WINDOWS + R > Type "msinfo32" > In System Summary, send me a screenshot.
