The WEI or Windows Experience Index score was first introduced with Windows Vista and it was an inbuilt benchmarking tool built inside Windows OS to provide a score of your hardware combination and how well they work.

The basic idea from Microsoft for WEI was that when you go out and buy a new software for your PC, you could buy the one which corresponded to your Windows Experience Index score to get the best performance. Though this idea didn’t catch on, but people still used WEI score to compare how well their PC performed.

The Windows Experience Index is a tool found on the system properties window that determines the performance of your computer's hardware by running tests on them. The values are set on a scale with a maximum of 7.9 on Windows 7. The base score is determined by the system's bottleneck score. Since Windows 8, the scale ranges up to 9.9, changing your old score on the same system.

A higher base score means that your computer will run faster and better than a computer with a low base score. This base score rating will help you understand your computer’s capability and pinpoint the areas where it is lacking behind. This can help you in determining which components to upgrade or improve.

Microsoft continues providing the index score in Windows 7 as well as Windows 8 but it has been removed from Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. When we say it is removed, we mean only graphically. You can still run tests and get a score using the Command Prompt.

In this post I will show you how to get Windows Experience Index (WEI) Score In Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.

There are actually two methods that you can use to get Windows Experience Index score on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. One of them is by using one of the two tools we are going to mention and the other is a geeky way in which we are going to use Command Prompt and some commands. Let us take a look at the easy third party tool method first and then we will proceed to the geeky command prompt way, just for fun!

Method 1 – Using third party tools

ChrisPC Win Experience Index

This is a third party tool but it is still very accurate and provides the same info and scores that the original Windows Experience Index provides.

  • Visit this page hereand download the ChrisPC Windows Experience Index setup.
  • After it is downloaded, just install it using the wizard and choose your options carefully.
  • Now that you have completed and installed the tool, start it and you will see that it is displaying a score and this score will be your Windows Experience Index score.
  • You can easily re-run the test and this will benchmark your PC to refresh the score and the final score will be shown in the same software.

Winaero WEI Tool

This is one more tool by Winaero but it does the same job as ChrisPC’s tool and it doesn’t come in a setup and it is totally adfree. You just have to download the tool archive and you are done. No need to install it whatsoever.

  • Head over to this pageand download the ZIP file.
  • Now extract the contents of the ZIP file into a folder.
  • Open the folder where you extracted the files and run WEI.exe and this will start the tool and it will look like the image I have embedded above.
  • It will readily show a score and if it doesn’t then all you need to do is run the tool once and it will reassess the score and produce the score to you.

As I mentioned this tool is completely ad free unlike the ChrisPC tool so I prefer this over ChrisPC.

Method 2 – Let’s get geeky, shall we?

All right, here comes the fun part.

  • Now you need to start Command Prompt as Administrator.
  • Now enter the following command into the Command Prompt
