Can't download origin installer

[BakedBeansInACan]

I've recently obtained a new computer, this computer runs on Windows 10 and I tried to install Origin. unfortunately, every time I try to install Origin, I'm given this message:

"The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

the message is followed up immediately by a near identical one:

"The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

I've tried to re-download origin multiple times now. this includes restarting my computer as well. I would very much appreciate some help with this issue.

Thank you.
