REMAPPING KEYBOARD WINDOWS 10 INSTALL

I did find this, but I have no idea if this is something that would work for you, but for what it's worth. Hi I'm afraid that's the only idea I have. What good is that? Are there any alternatives for a locked down computer running Windows 7 or greater that don't require an installation?

I looked into AutoHotKey, but it downloads as an installable file that requires admin rights to install it. Why did Microsoft take away the per-user functionality? Is there a chance of it coming back in Windows 10? Is there another solution that doesn't require administrative privileges. I literally suffer pain and need to go to doctors if I have to use the Control key in its 'default' location. With more and more companies locking down their computers and not allowing local admin rights, it is becoming problematic. For some asinine reason, this was dropped in Windows 7 and remains gone in Win8. Windows XP used to allow per-user keyboard remapping by editing the same entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. The entry you have to edit is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, which you need administrative rights to edit. Windows has a registry entry that allows you to remap the keyboard, but there's a wrinkle. I've been programming for over 30 years and I learned to type on the older Televideo and original PC keyboards that had the Control key next to the 'A' key, where CAPS LOCK is located.
