Inability to Install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on my Windows PC

I own a HP Z2 Small Form Factor G5 Workstation (9FW01AV) which is installed with Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Version: 26100.6584. I purchase Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro when it was first launched and have used it until recently when it became unable to complete certain basic tasks. I uninstalled the software conventionally, via Windows Settings, with the objective of installing Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, obtained directly from the Microsoft Store. For whatever reason, I have been unable to install the specific reader application. Typically, what happens, is a larger file is installed, which appears to contain a trail version of a major Adobe application. Despite attempting to uninstall the complete Adobe package and reinstall just the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, my efforts have thus far been decidedly uncussessful. Does anyone have a definitive method of accomplishing my objective. All advice and suggestions would be gratefully received.
