Changed number of processors in msconfig

Hi , I went into the msconfig menu and selected Boot-Advanced and proceeded to turn the number of processors down to 7 from 8 and then decided that I was a genius and made boot settings permanent and now cant change it back. What effect will this have
on my PC and should I change it back and how?? Thank you.

 

Can't fix MSCONFIG Processor setting after changing number of processors to 8

I'm using Windows 10 Pro.
I was looking for ways to increase performance and I came across some postings on MSCONFIG. I navigated to the option Boot/Advanced Options/Number of Processors. When I checked it, I saw that I could change the number from 1 to 8. I did so and rebooted. Now, when I boot I get in an endless loop of Windows Automatic Repair telling me that I have a configuration error and "Attempting Repairs". I'd like to change the Processors back from 8 to 1.
When I choose Advanced Options \ Troubleshoot \ Advanced Options I receive a menu of choices.

• Menu Options
  
• When I select "System Restore \Restore Point" for a few selections I get the message "System Restore did not complete successfully. An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x800070003)"
  
• When I select "Go back to the previous version" I receive the message "We ran into a problem and won't be able to take you back to the previous version of Windows."
  
• When I select "System Image Recovery" I receive the message "Windows cannot find a system image on this computer."
  
• When I select "Start Repair" I get an error with that as well.
  

I've also taken the following steps already.

• Other Steps:
  
• Windows with Command Prompt (It Boots from drive X", and the
  original drive "C" is now "E")
  
• net user administrator /active:yes
  
• CD E:\Windows\System32\config MSCONFIG (I Receive the error: "You do
  not have sufficient privileges to run System Configuration. Please
  run this utility as a user in the Administrators group."
  
• CD
  E:\Windows\System32\config ICACLS E:\Windows\System32\config*.*
  /INHERITANCE:r /GRANT:r AdministratorF) /F /C
  
• Regedit
  
• (I point to
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)
  
• File / Load Hive
  
• (I Navigate to)
  E:\Windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE
  
• Open
  
• (I receive the message
  "SOFTWARE You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the
  file owner or an administrator to obtain permission")
  

How can I change the number of processor settings when I'm in Windows Automatic Repair?

 

Number of Processors in MSCONFIG

Ok, so i'm tweaking with my OS, and i opened up msconfig. I noticed that under Number of Processors, it shows I have 16. I only have an 8-core processor. What would happen if i chose 8 or 16? Would i get a faster boot time?
