An alternative is to use the portable version.

I have Miktex 2.9 installed as administrator on my PC running win10. My University will no longer allow me to have admin rights on my PC but just rights as "poweruser" ( I am the ONLY user of my PC, in reality). It is just a change of policy, don't ask me about that.... Thus, my MikTeX is still working but I cannot upgrade packages etc. (unless I ask the admin to do that for me, of course....), or so it seems to me, when I try. My idea would be to ask for MikTeX to be unistalled and then reinstalled only for my username. Under such conditions, could I be 100% sure that I would be able to regularly upgrade my MikTeX installation, edit the config file for map of new fonts, with lines such as... initexmf --edit-config-file updmap etc. without asking the technician who has admin rights to do that for me? I think so, but I want to be 100% sure....
