You have to install the second CPU and then reinstall windows.
There is no other way

To enable dual CPU's you need to install the driver.

Go to system properties, device manager, click on computer, right click standard PC, select properties, select driver tab- update driver. That will start the driver wizard. Select the "display a list of drivers" button then the "all hardware of this device class" button. Select the MPS multiprocessor PC and click next.

If you get the warning message make sure your MoBo is MPS compliant before continuing.

You shouldn't have to reinstall anything but you should try to have a matched pair of CPU's. You will need to reboot.

Backup your system before making any major changes.
