Adobe [touch] reader installation problem [branched]

Question

I have a different problem.  I don't know how to get this resolved.  I bought an HP laptop with Adobe Touch Reader installed.  Adobe won't let me install Adobe DC reader - it tells me that I have a newer version installed.  This is really too bad because for what I do with Adobe Reader, Touch will not cut it.  It is like having to go from an old motorcycle to a new tricycle.  I want my old motorcycle back.  With the help of my computer store and my work IT department we have tried everything that we can locate online, and nothing works.  Thanks for screwing up my day, Adobe.
