Fake Your Windows Experience Index Score to Get Highest Rating

lets see how to change it manually and get the highest windows experience index score by doing a simple edit in a system file containing your PC’s rating.

Go to C:\ Windows \Performance \WinSAT \DataStore and look for a file named(date) Formal.Assessment (Initial).WinSAT.xml

Open this file with WordPad and edit your score manually to 7.9 (that’s the max. value). Look for a code like <SystemScore>4.9</SystemScore> and change the current rating to 7.9 and save the file.

Now go to your Windows Experience Index screen again and you will see that your score is now the highest rating ie. 7.9 . You can set it at a lower rate to make it look natural while fooling your friends. See my result after the edit.

You can click Re-run the assessment to re-analyze your system performance and give you the actual score on that page.
