Even when you're not using any programs, there will still be a small percentage being used due to the antivirus, firewall, spyware, etc. programs you have running in the background. It's nothing to worry about, but it's good to keep all of that in mind just in case.
To see how much of your CPU is being used at any given time, you just need to open the Task Manager. The easiest way to do that is to hit Ctrl + Alt + Del (all at the same time). It will then pop right up on your screen. Now, the percentage number is under the Performance tab and it's located toward the left, labeled CPU Usage. You can watch it fluctuate back and forth between the percentages if you want as well. That way, you know exactly how much is being used at all times.
While you're in the Task Manager, you can also look at some other performance and networking numbers if you're interested in that. Again, it's always a good idea to keep your eye on these things
