1. Open Settings using Win + I key, and then go to Accounts > Your info.
2. Now you can see your current signed-in user account. If you are using an administrator account, you can see an "Administrator" word under your user name.
1. Open a Command Prompt window. You can first open the Run dialog using Win + R keys, then type in cmd and click OK.
2. Type in command: net user <username> and hit Enter. Replace <username> with the name of your user. You will get a list of attributes of your account. Look for the "Local Group Memberships" entry. If your account belongs to the Administrator group, it should have administrator rights.
