Answer 3

Hi Thank you guys for the suggestions. I downgraded my windows from 11 to 10 using a bootable USB and SQL has installed successfully and everything is working fine I'm still not sure what the issue was but I think is has something to do with the windows 11 home version that my laptop had.
