Hello,
I just upgraded a version of Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro but under Local Users and Groups I do not see the power users group.
Is there any way to add it manually?

It&#39;s present by default in Windows 8 enterprise, but as PowerEdgeTech states, you can just simply create the group.  It doesn&#39;t really do anything anymore since XP.

It is present by default in win8 pro, too. But, to repeat, it has no meaning any more.
What did you plan to use it for? Maybe I can assist.

Power users group disappear in Windows 8 Pro

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
