I don't like putting my laptop under the stress of the vr experience for several hours at a time and since I can't get my desktop to download the program correctly im left with wanting to go get a vive.

It's really disappointing that Oculus still haven't allowed drive choice in the install program.
I can't remember the last time I installed anything that didn't allow me to choose the location. (Oh, sorry, yes I can. July 2017 Oculus Set Up)

Funny enough I did everything listed here beforehand. The instructions provided by oculus have no effect, my C: drive is far too full to download and I cant seem to delete anything from it that isn't required. I made just enough space on it to download all of the oculus stuff but then it proceeded to tell me there was an error with installation and to restart my computer. I did so and then had to go in to delete all the oculus files back off my C: drive. so I made about 24gb of space on my C: drive before installing it. AFTER installing it and my computer requiring a restart and me deleting the oculus data I was left with 18gb free space. so I lost 6gb of space to the aether. I have ccleaner and I did disk cleanup. my C drive has 17.9GB of space open out of 103 GB of space total. MY 😧 drive has 646 gb of 1.8tb

Will this work? (from https://support.oculus.com/1225089714318112/#faq_1142129705828091 )
To install the Oculus app on a different system drive:
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run command
Enter the following path: [drive]:\Downloads\OculusSetup /drive=[new system drive]
- Replace [drive] with the letter of the drive where Oculus was downloaded to
- Replace [new system drive] with the letter of the new drive you'd like to install Oculus to
Ex: C:\Downloads\OculusSetup /drive=D or C:\Downloads\OculusSetup /drive:D
Click OKThe Oculus app will then open and attempt to install the app on the new drive you've chosen.If you are saying that these are the instructions you did follow then you have some other issue.
Perhaps your C: drive is too full and won't even download temporary files. To regain unused space, open Windows Explorer and right click on the C: drive. Select "Properties" from the bottom of them popup menu. Click on the "Disk Cleanup" button and the when the next pop up window appears click on "Clean up system files". This will clean off the unused, temporary, and misc file from your C: drive. It will take a while. Plus, clear out your browser (history, cookies, etc) to regain space from your users folder. There are third party utilities you can use as well, such as CCleaner which are good at reclaiming space. Out of curiosity, how much space is on your C: drive? (total and used)
Make sure you are typing the command C:\Downloads\OculusSetup /drive=D or C:\Downloads\OculusSetup /drive:D correctly. Any difference and it wont work. If it pops up an error window, what does the error window say?
