ERROR: Access is denied. You need to run this cmdlet from an elevated process. |

In this context, elevated refers to Administrator permissions. To elevate a program or process, start the program or process with the Run as administrator option.
For example, to start a remote session on the local computer or to view or change settings for the local computer in the WSMan: drive, including changes to the session configurations, trusted hosts, ports, or listeners, start Windows PowerShell with the Run as administrator option.
Use one of the following two options.
To start Windows PowerShell with the "Run as administrator" option
-
In Windows, right-click a Windows PowerShell (or Windows PowerShell ISE) icon, and then click Run as administrator.
-
Or, in Windows PowerShell, use a Start-Process command with the RunAs verb.
