I recently downloaded the latest version of education edition, but it doesn't let me run the program. Considering that the computer I use is pretty old, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't let me run it, but I'm hoping that it's something else. :(

  How about trying to run as Administrator or install using Administrator account?

  Hi Sally Zhen, I'm sorry to hear you are having issues installing.  We've had some reports of installation issues with older machines.  Could you try a couple of things:

  1) Make sure your device is up-to-date with all Windows Updates.

  2) Follow the directions on this article to do a full clean uninstall of Minecraft: Education Edition, and then download and install the latest version from our download page.   Scroll down to "Step 1" on this page:  Transitioning to the desktop application for Minecraft: Education Edition – Minecraft: Education Edition Support
