Why each option
A User Account Control (UAC) prompt during software installation indicates insufficient privileges, which can be resolved by adding the user account to the local administrator's group.
A UAC prompt appears when an application requires administrative privileges to make changes to the system; adding the user account to the local administrator's group grants these necessary permissions, allowing software installation.
Configuring the firewall is unrelated to UAC prompts or the permissions required for installing software on the local system.
Creating a Microsoft account is for cloud services and syncing, not for granting local administrative permissions to bypass UAC prompts.
Disabling the guest account has no bearing on a standard user's ability to install software or bypass UAC prompts.
