Fixing drush * needs a higher bootstrap level to run

Today while setting up a Drupal dev environment on a new PC I encountered the drush error "Command needs a higher bootstrap level to run". The first thing I did as many probably would is do a quick search on google. This though yields many different results and fixes. The problem though is I didn't know why it was happening so I didn't know which fix would work.Turns out though it was quite easy.....
