This tutorial shows how to change standard user to administrator in one click in Windows 10? You can provide a standard user all those rights which are available for administrative account. Once it is done, that standard user can modify system settings, uninstall or modify programs, and do many other things with full administrative privileges. The good thing is you can also undo the change in one click. For doing this, I am using a free software named “Make Me Admin“. The name of this software clears its purpose very easily.
Though there are some other tools and built-in options (like Computer Management) also available to change standard user to administrator in Windows 10, those options require multiple steps. Also, you need to follow those steps again and again every time to make a standard user as administrator and vice-versa. This software is more easier to use.
In the screenshot above, the small interface of this software is visible where it is showing that the account has administrator rights.
