Cannot get permissions to convert a drive to NTFS

[nevr2l899]

Im trying to convert a drive on my laptop from FAT32 to NTFS as recommended by Microsoft baseline security analyzer. When I type in convert E: /fs:ntfs command in the cmd prompt I get a message that I dont have permissions to do so. How, on my own machine do I get permissions or what do I type in to get to root? I know that on Linux machines you type in su to enter password to get to root user but Im not sure how on my own windows machine. I am a 1st year IT student and am learning. I thought I had all the permissions since I am logged into my machine as administrator.

windows key > type "cmd" > right-click "cmd" > Run as adminstrator

Yes, running the CMD as an administrator should do the job.

I was just going to mention that

Thank you....command was accepted but that that particular drive couldnt be changed from FAT32 to NTSF but still nice to know how to get to admin.
