For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Answer

There are three simple steps to determine which Windows users are administrators before installing SCIEX software, such as Analyst® or SCIEX OS software. For a computer running a Windows 10 operating system (64-bit), follow these steps:
1) Access the Control Panel.
2) Click on the User Accounts option.
 


3) In User Accounts, the account name will be listed on the right side. If your account has admin rights, it will say "Administrator" under your account name, and then proceed with installation of the software package. Installing a SCIEX software such as Analyst® or SCIEX OS software requires that the Windows user is logged in with administrative rights.
