is this something to do with Python?
are you installing to C:\ or D:\ drive?
how are you installing it, from with PowerShell?

give us more context so we can better understanding your situation.

I type in
npm install -g windows-build-tools on power shell I assume the C drive that’s really all the info I got atm

what is “npm install” - is it something you are typing within some other program, or on the command prompt?
npm is not a PowerShell command.

see if this helps: npm install windows-build-tools on windows - Stack Overflow

otherwise, I’ve got nothing as I am not understanding how/what you are doing?

hopefully others will chime in?
