Windows 8 is a versatile and user-friendly operating system that provides a variety of features and settings to enhance your computing experience. However, by default, some of these features may be restricted to the administrator account. If you want to have full control over your Windows 8 system, you will need to make yourself an administrator. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to make yourself an administrator on Windows 8.
Step 1: Log in to Windows 8
First, make sure you are logged in to your Windows 8 account. If you are not already logged in, simply press the Windows key on your keyboard or click the Start button in the lower-left corner of your screen to open the Start screen, and then enter your username and password to log in.

Once you are logged in, press the Windows key on your keyboard and type “Control Panel” in the search box. When the Control Panel appears in the search results, click on it to open the Control Panel window.
Step 3: Navigate to User Accounts
In the Control Panel window, click on “User Accounts and Family Safety” in the left-hand navigation pane. Then, click on “User Accounts” in the expanded list.
Step 4: Change Your Account Type
On the “User Accounts” page, you will see a list of user accounts on your system. Locate your account and click on “Manage another account.” This will open a new window showing all the user accounts on your system.
Click on your account and then click on “Change the account type.” In the “Change Account Type” window, select “Administrator” from the list of account types and click “Change Account Type” to confirm your selection.
