@mw1525 My computer doesn't list any .NET frameworks in the Control Panel list either, but if I click "Turn Windows features on or off" (it's available on that screen too), I can see that both 3.5 and 4.8 are present. I would guess the differences are that your Iris Xe laptop has .NET 5.0, which apparently has the privilege of being listed; and that Windows 7 lists .NET by default, or at least 4.5.
The only other difference I see between the two Windows 10 lists in your screenshots if that the AMD PC has two extra 2005 VC++ runtimes. That's not a problem, and maybe some other programs are missing further up or down the list, but otherwise the entries are identical. The Windows 7 PC has a whole pile of 2005 and 2008 VC++ runtimes, probably a result of Windows just installing the new versions at every major release rather than simply replacing them.
By the way, I did go to Nexus' site to look for the potential fix you suggested. I didn't see it. But that's okay, I've decided not to try it. After installing TS3 I am suddenly getting odd behavior from the PC so I may end up having to uninstall it after all. Still, no matter what happens, I want to take the time to thank you for all you have done and are currently doing to help me get TS3 running on this system. I really do appreciate your help.
I'll update this thread after I try the update or compatibility mode should the update not work. Give me a couple of days to report back as I'm a bit busy with real life at the moment.

@mw1525 Whenever you do get back to this, if you want to try something random, install Seasons and see what happens. Another player in a different thread said they had weirdly low-quality graphics in Map View until they installed Seasons. I don't know why this would be, and they had both a different issue than you and a different GPU, but it would be easy enough to try, especially if the next step is uninstalling the game.
I'll PM you the link to the GPU Add-on tool in case you change your mind about using it or at least want to see what it is.
