### Example 8: Run a command as an Administrator using alternate credentials

On Windows, you can run `Start-Process -Verb RunAs` to start a process with elevated permissions.
This elevates the current user's context. The **Credential** parameter allows you to specify an
alternate username and password, allowing you to start a process in a different user content.
However, the **Credential** and **Verb** parameters can't be used together.

To start a process with elevated rights, using alternate credentials, you must first start
PowerShell using the alternate credentials, then use `Start-Process` to start the process with
elevated rights.

```powershell
$cred = Get-Credential
$args = '-noprofile -command "Start-Process cmd.exe -Verb RunAs -args /k"'
Start-Process pwsh.exe -Credential $cred -WindowStyle Hidden -ArgumentList $args
```

The example starts `cmd.exe` with elevated permissions from a PowerShell session that is running
under alternate credentials.
