    I solved the problem! I right-clicked on the folder F:\Origin and selected properties, then clicked the "Security" tab and then Edit. I changed everything to Full Control. I then clicked on Add and typed Everyone, selected Check Names and clicked OK. I then allowed Full Control, clicked Apply and OK. I opened Origin and was able to change the "Legacy game installers" to the correct drive. Thanks!

@EA_Darko  I have tried disabling Avast and it did not help. My Windows rights show me as administrator. I removed all ransomware protections for the F: drive and on most allowed apps on the F: drive. I did try making my own folders. both on F: and on E:. Each folder I made was read only. It looks like all my drives are read only. So I guess it must be the system. How would I fix that?
