I get a message that says I need permission to download Thunderbird. I am running Windows 10. Why am I getting this message and, how do I get permission?

are you taking about the Microsoft user access control (UAC)? Or something else. Please clarify what is telling you you need permission.

I go to the Mozilla Thunderbird site, click on the download button, and simply receive a “cannot download, no permission”. No other info is provided.
