Hello, just installed Windows 11 on my laptop and I can’t install ANYTHING. When I put it my email and passwords it asks for elevation. I try to Run the install as administrator and still nothing. I also tried a few configurations in the security section but nothing. Please help.

  • Have you run all available updates ?

    Are you currently logged in as an administrator user ? Is the laptop new to you ? What's the story behind having to install and not just upgrade ?
