    Enable Administrator


    Hi

    I have a Laptop (Windows Home 10) and a Desktop (Windows 8.1 home) and I want to enable Administrator on both. I have used all of the suggesting about this I got on the internet and nothing works. Sure could use some help here.

    Thanks

    Error 5 means you aren't authorized. Make sure you run the command from an elevated Command Prompt

    I used window key + R. That should be elevated.

    Thanks

    Nope. That won't elevate the command prompt.
