Home Premium only sees 1 CPU, and hence 4 cores. To get all 8 you will need Professional or Ultimate.

Get Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate.

Home Premium supports one processor with up to four cores. Pro and Ultimate support two processors, up to eight cores, IIRC.

NOTE: You can use an anytime upgrade to do this and don't have to go out and buy a whole new license. HP to Professional is about $80.
