Sounds to me like you bought a PC that comes with Windows in S-mode.

 

Windows in S-mode only allows you to install programs available from the Microsoft Store.

 

To install programs not available from the MIcrosoft Store, you need to switch out of S-mode.

 

See the info at the link below for how to do that...
