Windows 10: System Administrator Blocks a Software Installation

I recently tried to install a game from CD-ROM on my Win10 box and a pop-up informed me that the system administrator had blocked the installation and I should contact that individual to resolve the issue. The problem is that this is purely a personal home computer and I don't recall ever setting up a system admin. How do I contact this non-existing administrator and convince them that it's OK with me to install this software on my own machine?
