4 Answers. The SharePoint Designer 2013 executable is named “SPDESIGN. EXE”. If you have the 32-bit version it will be in c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\ otherwise it is in the location described in the MS document you linked to in your question.
In order to determine whether SP1 is already installed, you can look for the program version in the list of installed programs in the Programs and Features Control Panel item. If SP1 is installed, the version will be 15.0.

How to sign in as different user in SharePoint 2013?
I recently needed to sign in as a test user on a SharePoint 2013 development environment, but I couldn’t locate the Sign In As Different User link that had been present in SharePoint 2010. It’s no longer available in SharePoint 2013/2016/2019. “But it was just there a second ago!”
Start SharePoint Designer by using the Run as a different user option, by holding the Shift key when you right-click a program icon. Note: Although I preferred this on-demand method. but unfortunately, it sometimes not working to promote the credential dialog.
In SharePoint Designer, select the File tab and navigate to Account > Switch Account (link). When there, you can either sign out or switch to another account. Now, this is a little trickier. You have to add your site as a restricted site in Internet Explorer Options to force SharePoint Designer to ask for credentials.
