>>  Can you install tex-live in the default directory (c:\texlive\2020 on my
PC)?   In that case, the spaces in your name should not give you a
problem.   Have you tried an off-line installation as described in
https://medium.com/@ptantiku/texlive-offline-installation-for-windows-38aab4e3500b.
there is a portable version of Miktex available on the Miktex web site.
There are also portable versions of Tex-live (
https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#tlportable). You
have many choices.  While the suggestions above should solve your immediate
problem you would be better avoiding spaces in directory names.  You will
likely run into other problems at some stage in the future.
