Code:
- boot with F8, go to the domain controller restore mode. (not sure what the exact name is.)
- Log in
- start regedit
- goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
  Find EnableLUA and set it to 0
  Find ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin and set it to 0.
restart your pc.
- Now start MMC
- add the snapin Computer Management
- goto storage -> diskmanagement
- rightclick your windows partition and click properties
- goto security
- click advanced

- click edit
- select the owner (in my case i used my personal account who is administrator)
- click mutlipe times op ok.
- close MMC
- reboot pc
- log in normally
- start regedit
- restore uac settings EnableLUA = 1   and ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin = 3.
After that i did the upgrade and now i have full access on my pc.
