    The title says it all, is there a way for me to download this game without admin?

    There's a list of my computer specs below (School/work computer).
    (Note: this is not my normal pc, this is just a school computer.)

    School computer Specs:
    My School Computer:
    Language: Norwegian
    Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU 2020M @ 2.40GHz - 2.40GHz
    RAM: 4096MB *Fixed*
    Graphic Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
    Screen Solution: 1366 x 768
    Mouse: Default
    Keyboard: Default

    Is there a way to get it without needing admin?

    Trying to install beamng.drive on your vidregående computer?

    What computer is it? HP laptop?

    Its not impossible... you might loose your wireless internet access and the wireless printer access, but if you're willing to do that, It might be possible with the same steps I used when I was at vidregående :)

    it sounds like you are logging into the computer as a standard user (non-admin). The admin for that computer (your school) likely setup rules to require admin permission to run anything other then programs they white list. There are ways to get around this, but they are detectable and might get you in trouble with your school, if you still want to try, search Google for something like "your version of windows + bypass admin". Using my own computer I never need to launch BeamNG as admin, so it's definitely your OS permissions.

    Group Policy imposes restrictions on user-level accounts on pretty much all levels, including installing programs and running .exes not approved by the district or administrator. See if you can install it in Safe Mode. No clue if Drive will run in Safe Mode though (or at all on a machine that weak).

    Heyyy, thanks for answering!!

    I'll probably bypass the admin or ask the ''tech'' guys themself to maybe get access to see if its avaible to get in allowed.

    I already got 8-9 games installed and .. well.. some reuired admin.. so i couldnt install FTL or Botanicula from HumbleDumble :L

    I hope i can get BeamNG tio my laptop, playing it on school would be perfect!

    Hey, thanks for answering, i dont mind the fps and my normal pc already installed it :D (20-50 fps.)

    Doesn't the old good trick work? Copy it from your Main computer to a USB and then transfer the files to your laptop?

    If you want access to safe mode and the bios in general, take out the bios battery with the main battery disconnected, this will reset the bios and you can access it

    Thats why I asked you if it was a HP laptop, because those are easy to remove the battery from :)

    Nope, you have to get the admins password

    Also I believe you are leaving 96mb of your ram out. You have 4096MB ;)

    the way ram works, is that 1gb of ram, is equal to 1024MB, not 1000MB, so as you add more, it go's up, so 4gb of ram = 4096MB, not 4000MB, if you google MB to GB, you can get a Megabyte to Gigabyte calculator, for example, in reality, 4000MB is actually 3.90625 Gigabytes, not 4gb
