    Windows 10 Start Windows 10 in Administrator Mode

    I am the only person using my PC in my study. My wife & kid (and cats) never use it. They have their own tools/toys. Instead of continually being prompted for admin permission to perform tasks or run various programs, is it possible to get Windows 10 to boot up already in Admin mode?

    Win7-64 HP OEM on a new desktop at my home and used -only- by myself ... Win7 and I are new to each other. I've heard that it is a good idea to run a user account in my circumstance and avoid using the Admin account for the most part. That's what I've trying to do, and it is a sizable...
