I'm trying to run a PowerShell script that requires admin rights and the user I'm logged in as doesn't have admin rights. I have no problem temporarily storing the admin credentials on in the script or somewhere else on the computer. I know this is a security issue but Im testing a solution. Below is the code but it errors out with a weird error that doesn't make any sense to me.

Start-Process powershell -Credential (Get-Credential) -ArgumentList "-file C:\test.ps1"

I think the [linked answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/43281908/45375) explains the problem and offers a solution; let us know if it doesn't. – mklement0 Mar 12 '20 at 23:25
Im not sure how to test. How would i test including my ps1 script? Not sure how to write it syntactically? – druffin Mar 14 '20 at 19:04
