Pretty simple question.

I have windows 8.1 pro, i currently share this computer with someone, i'm the user and the other person is the master...some applications don't require the master's password to install, does that mean i can also uninstall them as User ?

If you're account privileges allow you to install software it's a fair bet you'll also be allowed to uninstall them too, since Windows usually lumps those two tasks together when it comes to account restrictions.

But the easiest way to find out is to try uninstalling a small-footprint application (so it doesn't too long to complete or re-install).

Maybe.
Have you tried it? What happened?
