Thank you! I finally finally was able to get this installation started by opting to get Microsoft Windows 11 out of S mode.
I went to this Microsoft.com website to make doubly sure of it - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/choose-where-to-get-apps-from-feature-missing-...
I don't understand why that hurdle is necessary but I'm glad at least that part has been figured out!
Thank you so much again for your time!
Sincerely,
