Hi @Pedro Parker

If you are running the setup as a local administrator, you require the following user rights for setup to run successfully:

To add the rights to the setup account, follow these steps:

1. Log on as an administrator.
2. Select Start > Run, type Control admintools, and then select OK.
3. Double-click Local Security Policy.
4. In the Local Security Settings dialog box, select Local Policies, open User Rights Assignment, and then double-click Backup Files and Directories.
5. In the Backup Files and Directories Properties dialog box, select Add User or Group.
6. In the Select User or Groups dialog box, enter the user account that you want to use for setup, and then select OK two times.

Review this doc for more details: SQL Server installation fails after default user rights are removed.

Best regards,
