How to Run or Open Command Prompt in Windows 8 as Administrator

Command Prompt is an essential tool in Windows OS to tweak and change system settings. It also exists in Windows 8. As Start Menu in Windows 8 has been changed, you might face difficult in finding it.
Launch Windows Explorer from Start Menu or Desktop.
Now, browse to any disk drive. In  this example, it is “C” drive.
Go to “File” Menu at top and hover at “Command Prompt” then select “Open Command Prompt as administrator”.
Alternatively, you can find it in Apps. To do so, press Windows Logo key + Q and select Apps. Command Prompt is listed under “A-C” section.
Right click on it and App Bar will appear at bottom. Go to “Advacned” and run it as Administrator.
You can also launch Command Prompt by browsing to the location C>Windows>System32. From here, you can also create a shortcut to desktop or pin it to Start menu or Taskbar.
If at any point, UAC asks for permission, proceed by choosing “Yes”.
