I gave the solution for that in post #30: "If you really want to see the numbers, you just need to run WinSAT prepop"

Thanks but I can get my scores through Winaero Tweaker or by running the assessment, but just commenting on getting zeros with PowerShell and that method :wink:

Never knew about this command, very handy.

My install runs better than its score...

I think I should think about transferring my M.2 SSD main drive onto the Gen4 slot...

I am just using the secondary slot because of the RGB on the M.2 SSD

I may be sharing my WEI score later, but this may take a while because my PC is low end even if it has SSD.

Figured I would try this

WEI is meaningless. We might just as well say

Please all run this simple spreadsheet command, and post value of X.

x=rnd(0)

As a thought........

WEI-score is useful. It shows what kind of experience you can expect from your Windows instance on your current hardware and where the bottleneck possibly could be. For instance, you could have all scores at 9.9 except for disk score at 2. This would drag your overall experience to terrible even if your other hardware is very fast and snappy.

If there was a most useless benchmark. this one would take the cake !!!!
It was meant to run in background during W7 installation to decide on some default settings. First time I encountered it was with my old AMD Phenom II x4 system with HDDs only and I get almost same scores with my state of art Ryzen with 3 NVMe drives.

Seriously?

Are you telling me a user would not know if they have a crappy hard drive if they are running a modern (say) i7 pc?

There are far better tools than wei to check performance.

All these wei posts are just saying "my dad is stronger than your dad"

It is a Windows experience score, not a measurement of real performance...it only tells you what Windows needs for optimal experience. Other benchmarks aren't designed for that.

This exceptionally crappy tool had some slight use two decades ago - hell you have to even hunt around to use it now.

I wish MS would remove it completely, but instead of "wei piddling contest" posts, we would then get "how do I reinstall WEI" posts instead LOL.

So you want to tell me that W11 has same needs on my modern system as with 12+ years old PC with W7 as scores are same ?
