Change Between Administrator and Standard Account On Windows 11 [Tutorial]

On Windows 11, you have two main account types for users, including Administrator and Standard User, each one offering a different set of privileges to use a device and apps. The Administrator type provides complete system control, which means that users can change settings globally, install apps, execute elevated tasks, and perform pretty much anything.

Issues addressed in this tutorial:

If you want to promote a trustworthy user or limit the permissions of a naughty one on your Windows 11 PC, there are several ways to change an account type from Standard to Administrator and the other way around. While a Standard account lets you access the device and make changes that don’t affect other users, you need Administrator privileges to have complete control over the operating system, its apps, and settings in Windows 11. This tutorial illustrates how to change the type of user account in Windows 11, from Standard to Administrator and vice versa, in six different ways:

Using an administrator account lets you change security settings, install hardware and software, access all files, and make changes to other user accounts. However, if you forgot your password, got locked out of your computer, or your admin rights accidentally got revoked, you won’t be able to make the changes you want to do. Here’s how to change the administrator in Windows 11:

In comparison, the Standard User account type is more restrictive. Users with the standard account can work with apps, but they can't install new applications. They can change settings, but only those that won't affect other accounts, which means that global system configurations aren't allowed. If an app or a command requires elevation, they'll need administrative credentials to complete the task.

Usually, it's recommended to use an account with standard privileges as it offers a more secure environment. However, depending on the situation, it may be necessary to change the account type from Standard User to Administrator (or in reverse), and Windows 11 includes multiple ways to complete the process using Settings, Control Panel, User Accounts, PowerShell, and Command Prompt.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 11 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
