Hi, Ristar.
An "elevated prompt" means entering the command or starting the application
from the "Administrator:Command Prompt" window. That's the Administrator
version of what some of us old-timers still call a "DOS window".
To open that window, right-click on Cmd.exe and choose Run as Administrator;
you'll have to furnish the password to get past here. When the window
opens, note the word "Administrator" in the Title Bar. Any command or
application launched from this window will "run elevated"; it usually will
automatically Run as Administrator without further password prompts.
