1. Know if I am a Windows 10 administrator from Control Panel
2. Know if I am a Windows 10 administrator from CMD

Windows 10 is made up of different types of users, we can verify that there are local accounts, how many, administrator permissions , guest accounts, etc., the main difference of each of these are the permissions that each one has to carry out actions in the system As a general rule, when we log in with a Microsoft account, it will be as administrator..

 

But it does not hurt to take an eye to check what type of account is ours and the reason is simple, if we need to perform support or administrative tasks simply with a local account we will be faced with various restrictions to do it correctly.

 

 

Let's see how to know if we are administrators or not in Windows 10..

At the bottom we go to the line "Members of the local group" and there we detect whether or not we are administrators:
