How to open Command Prompt on Windows with admin rights

In the latest version of Windows, Command Prompt (CP) option was removed from context menu when users right-click on Windows button at the left-bottom corner. It is replace with Windows Powershell. This has led many to think they are the same program but they are not, actually. To prevent you guys making a mistake, in this post, I will guide how to find and open CP on the latest builds of all Windows versions, one by one.

Open command prompt in administrator mode

Step 1: Click on the Windows Start button (in the top left corner).

Step 2: Search for “cmd”.

Step 3: Right-click on and run the command prompt as administrator.

Note: To make sure that you do it exactly, please see the title of command prompt window.

Make sure “administrator” is in the title

If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments. I would be glad to explain in more details. Thank you so much for all your feedback and support!
