Blocking dropping onto elevated targets from a non-elevated desktop has been a security feature of UAC since it was introduced a decade and a half ago. You can remove the restriction by running with UAC turned off, which the security-minded will of course advise you not to do, and many people have no clue about anyway (it is, however, the way I run my machine, because I choose how to control my security myself).
Alternatively, you can get a third-party file manager, run it with elevated permissions, and then drop and drop within it - but you can't elevate Windows Explorer to try to get the same effect.

Where do you see this? Drag-and-drop is a simple feature of the Windows shell that should require no special permission.
