If you’re a Windows 8 user, there are a few things you can do to make yourself an administrator on the platform. First, create a new account and password if you don’t have one already. Next, open the “Administrative Tools” menu in the Start screen and select “Administrative Tools.” There, you’ll find a variety of tools that will help you manage your computer and its settings. One of these tools is “Windows PowerShell,” which can be used to manage many aspects of your computer. To use PowerShell, first open an elevated command prompt window (type “cmd” into the command prompt box and hit enter). Then type “netstat -a” to see all active network connections on your computer. If there are any connections that look like they might be associated with Administrator rights, they will be listed in this output. If not, type “netstat -a” again and check for any active connections that might be associated with Administrator rights (you should now see only active network connections that are associated with Administrator rights). If there are no active connections listed in netstat -a or if they’re only listed for some specific networks (like your home network), then you don’t need to worry about them; just continue using PowerShell as normal. Finally, if you want to become an administrator on Windows 8 without using PowerShell or netstat -a, there’s another way: by using the Windows Update service. To do this, open the Administrative Tools menu and select “Update Services.” There, you’ll find a variety of tools that will help you manage updates for your computer and its settings. One of these tools is “Windows Update,” which can be used to install updates for your computer and its settings. To use Windows Update, first open an elevated command prompt window (type “cmd” into the command prompt box and hit enter). Then type “updateutil /forcerestart” to force updates onto your computer even if it’s not currently running them
