Some commands that change the basic functionality or licensing level of Windows require additional access privileges to execute. The interface is very similar to the old Disk Operating System (DOS) that PCs used before the Windows operating system, and uses DOS syntax.

Not sure if i missing something? if anyone knows how a can resolve this i would be greatly appreciated.The Command Prompt in Windows is the command-line interface program that is used to execute some low-level software or issue commands directly to your computer.
