so I have a ps1 script which I'm running inside a non-elevated powershell windows.
But I want to modify my script so I can run copy-item and this needs to write to one of the folders inside c:\windows.
I've looked at copy-item and there's a parameter called "credential" but I do not know the admin password for my setup.
I'm hoping something like Debian's "sudo cp -a myfilehere.txt /etc/" would be possible.

To Copy-Item as Administrator you should start a PowerShell as Administrator like:
In my use-case, I wait end of copy, but it not mandatory. The drawback of this solution is that -NoNewWindow is not available then.
