I was thinking the same thing about running it as administrator. For me that would mean opening Windows System in the start menu and then right click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator. Then in the dos box navigate to where the calibre installer is and run it. Alternatively (this may not work for everyone) and less hassle navigating the windows filesystem, go to where the calibre installer is and go up one folder, then right click on the folder you came from and select Command Prompt (Administrator), and then run the calibre installer.

Windows offered me the opportunity to upgrade to 11 a few days ago; looks like declining was the prudent thing to do.
