Probably, you can't - many companies install security policies which help protect them from attacks which may originate from untrusted or attacker controlled font files.
Block untrusted fonts in an enterprise (Windows 10)[^]

You will have to speak to your IT department and get an exception from the company rules (and a change of the policies on your machine) to enable font installation.

Looks more like junk knowledge, not Windows. There is no "Install" button anywhere.

To install a font, you just open the Fonts folder, C:\Windows\Fonts, and drag and drop the font file onto the folder. If Windows wants your admin permissions to do it, it'll ask for it.

Actually, I've been running Win10 on my desktop and tablet for quite a while how, and both are up to Creators Edition...

If the font is installed in control panel, then it is automatically available to all applications on the system.
But ... an application doesn't have to use any particular font: it can, but it doesn't have to.
Or are you trying to use Courier as the default windows font? If you ... apart from being mad (it's a non-proportional font and will look horrible, worse than Windows 10 normally does) it's pretty easy:

But don't expect that to change everything: applications don't have to use the default font if they don't want to.
