I see you're posting from win11, so I suppose you mean in Win11, but I
say, Not all the time. 

To spoil the ending, I did it with DOS, but before then....

I get that popup with the button, Continue with the logo of Admistrator,
and I click on it, but a step or two later, it tells me it can't be
done. 

When I usad a 3rd party file manager, it said, "Do you want th is
program of unknown author to change your computer?" and after I said
yes, it said "Need special permission"

So I used MS File Explorer and googled to find out how to open a second
copy and did it with that, and got the same negative results. 

Finally I did it in DOS box with elevated powers (not sure if I needed
elevation.)

But this was ProgramS, with an S, that I created myself.

This one is a Dell too. 

Amazing that it should be so different.
