How to change a Standard user to Administrator account & vice versa in Windows 11/10

Windows 11/10 users can operate their system as Administrators or Standard users. The main difference between standard and admin users is their privileges. While Administrator accounts give you access to everything on the machine, standard accounts are more restrictive.

We can change the account type of a user account in five easy ways. We’ll explore the following methods:

1] Change a user account type between Standard and Admin from User Accounts.

2] Change a user account type between Standard and Admin from Settings.

3] Change a user account type between Standard and Admin from Control Panel.

4] Change a user account type between Standard and Admin from Command Prompt.

5] Change a user account type between Standard and Admin from PowerShell.

Timecodes:
0:00 INTRO
0:39 IN THE USER ACCOUNT
1:27 IN SETTINGS
2:00 IN THE CONTROL PANEL
2:30 IN THE COMMAND PROMPT
3:55 IN POWERSHELL
