How to install any software on Windows 11 or 10 without having to be an admin.

To install most of the software on a computer with Windows, you need to have admin rights. This is a very common security measure. But you might not be the person who can do all of the things on every computer you use. If you want to install a piece of software, you'll have to be an admin user first. This is a great security feature, but it can be very frustrating when you want to install a piece of software and can't. So, is there a way around this? There is a way to get around it, and we're here to help you.

A lot of people don't think this is going to be easy, but the answer is actually very simple and easy to understand. How to install any software on your computer without having to be an admin is shown in this article. It's my hope that you'll enjoy it!

Solution

Step 1: Press the keys WIN + D to go to Desktop immediately.

To make a new folder on your Desktop, right-click any empty space on the Desktop and choose New. Then choose Folder to make a new folder on your Desktop.

Note: You don't have to make a folder on the Desktop. You don't even have to make a folder. But for convenience, a folder is made on the Desktop. This makes it easier for people to find things.

 Step 2:If you want, you can give this folder a name of your own. Even if you don't give the person a name, that's fine. It doesn't matter. Admin Rights is the name of our folder.

Double click on the folder to enter inside it.

Step 3: Now, you need to move your installer file into this new folder.

As you can see in the example below, I'm trying to get VLC player installed on my computer without having to be an admin first. I have now downloaded and moved the VLC installation file to my new folder.

Step 4: As next, right click on an empty space inside the folder, click on New and then click on Text Document.

Step 5: Double click on the newly created text document to edit it.

Step 6: When the text document opens up in Notepad, copy and paste the following code snippet onto it.

"set _COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker

Start <name_of_setup_file>"

Step 7: In the next step, go back to the folder where you put the installer file and click on it. Then press the F2 key to start the process again. Now, just press CTRL + C to copy the name of the installer file.

So, finally, my code would look like the following.

"set _COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker

Start vlc-3.0.16-win64"

Step 9: Finally, click the File tab at the top of the screen and then click the Save button. That's all. Would now be safe.

Step 10: Now get back to the folder that you created and click on the text document. Press the F2 key to rename the file.

 Step 11: Give the file any name you want. But make sure you give .bat as the extension of the file.

An example of how to name a file is shown below. I have called it "geeks db admin rights."bat.

When you're done naming things, just hit the Enter key. A Rename confirmation box will pop up, and you'll have to press the Yes button to move on.

step 12:That's it. This means that if you look at your document now, you can see that the type of the file has changed from a Text Document to a Windows Batch File.

If you double-click on the file now, the batch script will start.

 step 13: That's all. The batch script would now run, and it would start the installer that came after the Start command in it.
