NMM doesn't find Skyrim. In Program Files(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/ Common/Skyrim
I run Win 10, is this a known Win 10 problem?
I think I remember something about (TESV, but what I don't recall, maybe something connected to the UI or SKSE)
Perhaps if I uninstall Steam completely and reinstall directly into C:\ Any help please.
===============================================================================================================
Direct install of steam onto C:\ , did it now have NMM ok

Question, is why isn't it being recognized? is there a known Win 10 problem?
What happens if MO doesn't recognize it either?
===============================================================================================================
Update: it did recognize Skyrim, I opened it looking for a desktop shortcut, none there. How do I install mods, to where, please? MO just opens a window saying 'Browse'

I think you might have to show NMM the correct path, I know you have to do this for LOOT, FNIS & TES5Edit if you want NMM to handle them. Or did you mean it's unable to find it when you run first install and run NMM to search for installed games it supports? I've not tried on a fresh install, but I dual boot between Win 7 & Win 10 and my Win 10 had no problem finding Skyrim when I first insalled it on that drive, that was back before the new NMM was released so I've not tried it from scratch with the latest version. As Sniffles says, if you have no luck getting it working you could give MO a try, but bear in mind that after he installed Win 10 himself, Fore decided to drop FNIS support for MO on Win 10, it was errors relating to Vilja that led to that decision and he brought it to both the MO team and Emma's attention, Emma has since removed the particular line of code that caused the problem, the MO team refused to believe there was a problem which may be the main reason Fore dropped Win 10 support. If you're unfamiliar with MO, it's nowhere near as new/inexperienced user friendly as NMM, but it's better in that you never install anything in the Skyrim Data folder which means there's no risk of any damage to due to faulty uninstalls of mods. EDIT: lol, you edited your post while I was writing this one.  |

Another problem: it's in Program Files.
Big no-no, there.

I uninstalled Steam itself and then re installed into C:\ directly. After installing Skyrim again NMM did find it after two runs.
So it's there now.
Also have to make everything compatible with Win7 or 8 and administrator .

I avoid mod managers and install all mods manually. There have been too many reports of people running into problems with them and in any case I prefer to know exactly how everything is set up, then I only have myself to blame if anything goes wrong.
I avoid installing any programs onto the C: drive and in particular into 'program files', unless it is unavoidable.
