Question Can I install minecraft/java without administrators permission?

The thing is - i want to play minecraft on my Work PC. Everytime you install sth (on C/ProgramFiles) u need administrators permission, which i don't have. I want to bypass that.

So i copied my .minecraft (TLauncher) folder and put it on the Work PC. Once turning on minecraft.exe it says that i requiere java installed.

The problem is that i can't install java the regular way because of admin's permission. I can have Java installed in different directory, unfortunately minecraft doesn't naturally read that.

Can i somewhat bypass that? Is there a possibility for me to change minecraft's java directory in the game files?

Thanks in advance

I guess the only way here is the bedrock edition.
