    Only reason I can think of is to fool someone, who buys PC from you. It’s not like changing score would magically change real performance :)

    the purpose of WEI is to get a score for your system performance on a scale from 0-8 based on several broad categories of hardware related benchmark tests. your index score will not be higher than the lowest valued category score. you can use this information to diagnose your system components to see what part of your system is reducing the overall performance of the computer so that you know what part of the hardware to upgrade in order to improve the overall performance.
