To launch an elevated command prompt, press the Windows key on your keyboard, type **cmd**, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, and then click **Yes** to confirm the elevation prompt.

Note: When you open an elevated command prompt, you will usually start in the **C:\WINDOWS\system32** directory. To run a program that you recently downloaded, you must change to the directory where the program is located. Alternatively, you can move or copy the program to a location on the computer that is automatically searched. These directories are listed in the [PATH variable](https://answers.microsoft.com/windows/forum/all/adding-path-variable/97300613-20cb-4d85-8d0e-cc9d3549ba23).

If this is too complicated for you, then use File Explorer to create a new folder under C: with a short name such as "new" then copy or move the programs you want to run (like SetupDiag) to this folder using File Explorer. When you open an elevated command prompt, change to this directory by typing "cd c:\new" and now you can run the programs in that folder.

If you downloaded the SetupDiag.exe program to your computer, then copied it to the folder C:\new, and you opened an elevated command prompt then typed cd c:\new to change to this directory, you can just type setupdiag and press ENTER to run the program. This program will analyze the files on your computer to see why a Windows Upgrade failed and if the reason was a common one, it will report this reason. It will not fix the problem for you but knowing why the upgrade failed enables you to take steps to fix the problem.
