must be "admin" but i am?

Hi
I have the 3 cd:s since many years.
Was never any problem to install and play before.
Now installed the game at a newer pc with licenced win 10.
What i can remember win 10 can work?
But i cant start the game, saying I must login as admin.
But as far i know and can see, I am admin and the only user.

Wil i get rid of this if I download the game?

...

Install the Game into "C:\Games\Battlefield..."  and not into "Programm Files\EA Gam..."

Program Files is restricted.

All games, by default, should be installed in C:\Games. Installing games to the Program Files folder dates back to Windows XP or even before, when there was no User Account Control (UAC) request. Also, games should have a separate folder from ordinary programs. This way of installing everything to Program Files, it is just a mess.
