Running Steam on another Hard Driver

[theelitegamer]

Hey guys, I'm trying to run steam on my ''school laptop'' which I don't have admin rights to. So I thought just plug in my other hard drive and run it from there right? It doesn't work, for some reason I need admin rights to run steam on this laptop through another hard drive. Is this normal or am I stuck? Any help will be needed.

That's normal. You could connect 400 drivers and the Admin still won't let you run the program.

I could suggest some things but i'm pretty sure that if your admin discover it you're fucked.

As a Systems Administrator, I find this post amusing,..I hope you don't plan on playing Dota within your school's network.

No, I'm cyberschooled and they send us laptops.

It might be because it is trying to install a service (maybe Steam Client Service) and it requires admin rights to do that.
