how to act as administrator

[Windows Central Question]

I have a new computer with windows 10 installed. However, I cannot update many files and directories because are read only. When I try to change the access it says I must be administrator. However when I look at setting I am the adminstrator

What (and where) are these files and directories you are trying to update?
