It’s not clear how enabling all eight cores will impact your battery life, but since your laptop is brand new, that could affect performance right away.

You can't turn on more cores than what the processor actually has. The Core i7-8565U in your laptop only offers 4 cores, so increasing to 8 cores isn't possible.

Because it doesn't require them all. No point in wasting power unnecessarily.

Usually turning off cores shortens battery life because the leftovers have to handle more work for longer. To extend your battery, begin by disabling background activities.
