Initial set-up - Mod Organizer Detecting/selecting Skyrim

[headfullofdread]

New computer, windows 10. I accidentally ran MO before I ran skyrim, it didn't list any games (duh). Ran skyrim, same results with MO. Uninstalled MO, deleted remaining folder, Ran game, installed MO, still not picking it up. I can't seem to navigate to it either, I created a new folder outside of program files for all my games, Admin account, everything should be full control on permissions. I ran MO as admin, just tried installing as admin. Help..?

Edit: Browsing the forums getting caught up on going's on. Is NMM where it's at now? I see a lot of ppl using it..on the technical support forum.

I have the special edition also.

No, MO is where it is at. NMM is generally discouraged nowadays by better modders. Make sure you've watched these videos, they help:

 

Ensure that MO is not installed in program files, and go into the properties of ModOrganizer.exe > Click on the compatibility tab > tic the box for "Run as Administrator" and you won't have to right click each time.

Thanks for the vid's, while I am familiar with MO and have probably watched some of those videos I'll give them another look. It isn't in program files, I created a new folder under the admin user named Games & installed steam & everything to that folder & then even installed MO to the Skyrim directory in that folder. Like I said earlier running as admin didn't help and it should have full permissions already but I'll try the compatibility settings.
Edit: I'm following STEP's guide as closely as I can in respect to SSE.
Edit: I'm running SSE and literally started playing again yesterday, does MO work with SSE or I see there's a MO2 in beta, do I need that for SSE?

Edit: Bump not needed, still cannot get MO to work.
