How to Give Myself Full Admin Privileges in Windows 10
Are you tired of being restricted by user account control (UAC) in Windows 10? Do you want to have full admin privileges to make system changes without the hassle of prompts? If so, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we will guide you through the process of giving yourself full admin privileges in Windows 10. Follow these simple steps to unlock your system’s full potential.
Step 1: Open the User Accounts settings
To begin, press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type “netplwiz” and press Enter. This will open the User Accounts window.
Step 2: Select your user account
In the User Accounts window, you will see a list of user accounts on your system. Find the account you want to give full admin privileges to and click on it.
Step 3: Change the account type
Click on the “Change account type” link on the left side of the window. This will open a new window where you can modify the account type.
Step 4: Select “Administrator”
In the new window, you will see a list of account types. Select “Administrator” from the dropdown menu.
Step 5: Confirm the changes
Click on the “OK” button to confirm the changes. You may be prompted to enter an administrator password. If you have one, enter it and click “OK.” If you don’t have an administrator password, you can skip this step.
Step 6: Restart your computer
After making the changes, restart your computer for the new settings to take effect. Once your computer restarts, you should now have full admin privileges.
Alternative Method: Use the Command Prompt
If you prefer using the Command Prompt, follow these steps:
1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type “cmd” and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
3. In the Command Prompt, type “net user [your_username] /add” and press Enter. Replace [your_username] with your actual username.
4. Type “net localgroup Administrators [your_username] /add” and press Enter.
5. Close the Command Prompt and restart your computer.
By following these steps, you should now have full admin privileges in Windows 10. Remember that having full admin privileges can be risky, so use them responsibly.
