My school has gave each student laptops to use and unfortunately anything that we download outside the App Store needs an Admin password, is there any possible way around this? It's Microsoft Lenovo Laptop btw.

No. School laptops often require admin rights to install software. That's an operating system setting, not Adobe.

You'll have to ask your school IT people to install it for you.

Do you have the Apple ID and password for your device?

    Do you need School IT people to install an update for Creative Cloud? I cant open the application without getting an update screen requiring an admin password, my whole class is struggling with this, and the eteacher continues saying to just find a way around it.

    Your teacher needs to help you find a way round it, if these are school computers. The admin password is there to STOP you installing or updating apps, so it's working just fine.
