     (If you use a mouse, point to the lower right of the screen, move the mouse to the top and then click Find.)

  2. Enter command prompt in the search box.

  3. In the list of results, slide down on or right click command prompt, and then press or click Run as administrator.

  4. In the administrator: command prompt window, enter the following commands. Press ENTER after each command:
