No I have windows 10 and steam.
Not sure how to help right now but make sure Steam is off during installation. And you select that option in the choices

good news I'm an idiot lol had it installed on a expendable hard drive cause it has more storage then the main storage on the computer so decided to move it over to the computer storage and it installed successfully
