So it has been a while since I have setup a fresh install of windows 8 and I just picked up a T510 Lenovo which I have installed windows 8 on.

For the life of me I cannot remember how to force this account into a proper administrator.

I have already turned on the local admin account and this one shows as admin but it will not give me the same rights and abilities to do what I have on my local account on my T500 with windows 8.

Is there a link I am missing online that will remind me how to make this account have 100% full rights like on my other laptop?

I know search but I have spent the last 4 hours reading and testing and nothing make it setup the same way as the other laptop.
