You can also open an administrative Command Prompt using just the Start Menu. Click the Start button, type “command,” and you’ll see “Command Prompt” listed as the main result. Right-click that result and choose “Run as administrator.”
When you launch the Command Prompt with admin privileges, you’ll likely see a “User Account Control” window asking for permission to continue. Go ahead and click “Yes.”
Once you’ve got the “Administrator: Command Prompt” window open, you can run any command, whether it requires administrative privileges or not.
