We could amend the pg_upgrade (and maybe other if needed, but I don't see any other occurences of RUNAS) documentation to be a bit more general, like the non-windows part of it, maybe something like For Windows users, you must be logged into an administrative account, and then start a shell as the user running the postgres service and set the proper path. Assuming a user named postgres and the binaries installed in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14: RUNAS /USER:postgres "CMD.EXE" SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\bin; It's ultimately up to the users to adapt the commands to match their environment.
