At work I have a Windows PC. I don’t have much personal experience with Windows which is why I am asking.
I want to remap the caps lock key to function as a control key. Ideally, on a per-user basis as sometimes other people use the workstation and I don’t want to confuse them.

Was able to install Auto Hot Key. A test script worked. However I couldn’t find working instructions about how to do this specific remapping. Example scripts I found seem to have some conflict between v1 and v2 of AH.

I don’t have admin access however I could probably ask for something, but it would have to work immediately without a lot of fooling around. I will not be granted admin access to try a bunch of things til I find something that works.
What’s the best way?
The Microsoft PowerToys Keyboard Manager tool should allow you to do this.

You will probably need admin access to install it, however.
Edit: Actually, apparently you don’t? I just installed it on my work PC here, and did not get any UAC prompts or anything. It can indeed reassign your caps lock key – I just tested this, and it works. (I mapped it to left ctrl.)
