How to Login as Administrator in windows 10

An administrator is someone who has the authority to make changes to a computer that will affect other users. Administrators have the ability to change security settings, install software and hardware, access all files on the computer, and modify the accounts of other users. To Login as Administrator, you must have a user account with the Administrator account type on the computer.

You can check the account type after you’ve logged on if you’re not sure if the account you have on the computer is an administrator account. Depending on whether your computer is part of a domain or a workgroup, the steps you should take will differ.
