Update... I pulled out and dusted off my old laptop (the one with the file folder that has TT 2007-2019 files on it...). The one that doesn't insist on EVERYTHING going to a one drive someplace and linking with a cloud based microsoft account.... Did the Costco download, installed and got the screen to put in my code and looks like it is supposed to - all in maybe 5 minutes... I don't understand what the handshakes are that are built in that are causing this issue on the new computer, but I just lost a day. I wonder if it does have to do with these microsoft accounts with one drives where nothing is pushed to be saved locally on the computer. I miss the old days when everything was in one place. I think all this linked and back up and cloud stuff is really creating more issues than it solves. Not that I'm ready to go back to punch cards, but I am an old dog and I'm tired...
