Steps To Do that:

STEP1 : Install JAVA JDK 8 in personal system where you have admin rights.

STEP2 : Copy the install JDK folder to system where you dont have admin rights.

STEP3: Go to Start Menu and Search environment and click on "Edit environment variable for your account"

STEP4: Now Click on Add in User Variables and add below local environment variables.

A. JAVA_HOME

B. PATH

C. CLASSPATH

It works absolutely fine. I have been using JDK like this for almost a year.

I found similar post but it has different technique. Installing JDK without administrator privileges

Although this still requires admin privileges on another system... – simon.watts Oct 02 '17 at 11:26
The installation package from Oracle does not give the option to pick a location. – CPerkins Nov 30 '18 at 16:05
