Change Computer Description

[DuckieTom]

Hi,
The script below works on Windows PowerShell but doesn't work on PowerShell Studio 2017. I kept getting an error and I don't know what it means.
I've been trying to find a workaround for the last 2 days and I am stuck. What I am trying to do is have the script identify my computer and update the computer description to "SAMPLE DESCRIPTION" ...Can I please get some help?

---Script---
$OSValues = Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem -computername "DUCKIE"
$OSValues.Description = "SAMPLE DESCRIPTION"
$OSValues.put()

---Error---
ERROR: Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Access denied "

You have to run elevated to write to WMI. That is what "access denied" means.

How do I run elevated?
