Hi, you can create Windows 10 recovery USB without administrator rights.

First of all, I will offer you the easiest way - to use the professional tool EaseUS Todo Backup Home.

The specific steps are as follows:

Step 1. Insert the USB into your computer and download EaseUS Todo Backup Home.

Step 2. Launch the software, and navigate to Tools> Create Emergency Disk.

Step 3. Select a boot disk location, and you can choose the Create button.

In addition to using EaseUS Todo Backup Home, you can also go to Microsoft's website and download the Windows 10 ISO file yourself and try to create the recovery USB yourself by following the procedure given on the website.
