In the PowerShell script itself, check to see if it has an admin token. If it 
doesn't, then relaunch powershell.exe using Start-Process with -Verb RunAs so 
that it will have the admin token.

In other words, what is shown here:

How can I get a PowerShell script to run with administrative privileges?

I have a configuration script I want to run on my Windows 10 machines, 
obviously it is going to be run by an admin user, but I want to just 
double-click the script and it runs with admin privileges. At the minute I have 
to launch PowerShell as an admin and then run the script directly - what's the 
best way to be able to do this with a simple double-click action?

Cheers,
