and the download speed is 14 Megabits per second (Mbits / s).
1 MiB == 8Mbit
Under optimal conditions, this would have as such been completed in about 25ish minutes.
However, instead it took 40 minutes, so something is already going on that is very odd at your friend's house.
They seem to not have downloaded it at an average speed of 14Mbits/s.
Now you claim your speed was about 65Mbits/s.
If this is true, the game would have installed in 5 minutes.
Instead it took 90 minutes.
---
Lets calculate it the other way around.
Your friend, downloaded the game at a speed of 8Mbit/s
And you downloaded the game at a speed of 3,6Mbit/s
Your internet was averagely slower as such.
---
So why did you download the game onto your computer this slowly?
Well.... it could be anything.
The fact is, I know nothing about your computer, nor your internet, nor how everything is connected. I don't know what is running on your machine either, what settings are default and what settings are changed.
I don't know what you installed and uninstalled.
I don't know anything about the hardware and what it interacts with.
So I can't answer 'any idea'. I would have to answer "every idea".
As such, I recommend just using google. So long you remain vague about your circumstances, no one can help you here.
3070 ti i also got this after all of this
36gbs of ddr5 3600mt/s to 6000 overclocked but i dont do that
AMD ryzen 5 7600x 6 core
an m.2 1 hdd and 1 ssd
motherboard gigabyte B650 AORUS Elite ax ice
and im using the motherboards wifi
with windows 11
THIS is the M.2 that i download most of my games on WD_BLACK SN770 2TB
and i have Gb internet
You can find this in Hardware Monitor, then finding the driver for the SSD. Its a setting on one of the tabs. (It might speed up downloading... not sure)

40GiB in 90 minutes that's 60.6Mbit/s averagely -- so yeah now your description is correct.
Your friend's speed has to have been 126.5Mbits/s.
I also see the problem now... because your friend doesn't have Mbit/s displayed as his download speed, but rather MiB/s (MB/s) MegaBytes rather than Megabits.
As mentioned, 1 MegaByte is 8 Megabit, so when we convert the number to MegaByte, you get an average of 17,1MB/s
So that explains the difference and why it seemed slower to you. You mismatched what is measured.
You can set this in Steam Settings > Downloads
The option "Display Download speed in Bits per second" can be toggled on or off.

Now as to why it is slower than you'd expect (when you have the same internet speed)
That could have to do with settings on your computer.
Windows by default enables a lot of power saving and green power settings.

Maybe that is the simplest solution to most of it. Just drag the bar to 100Mbits/s and then set it to 'optimal' in the bottom.
Also make sure you disable the NetworkThrottlingIndex on the advanced tab. (the value should be ffffffff, not a)
Other than this, you can look through your Network Interface Controller's settings, you can find this in hardware monitor.
There are a lot of settings that try to automatically lower power consumption that you can disable.
This may also help with all of that and more: https://www.speedguide.net/articles/gaming-tweaks-5812/p-1/

I recommend disabling the fTMP setting in the BIOS. This means you won't have TPM 2.0 enabled, but the thing is AMD screwed it up a bit so... you get some frame loss while using your system. You may notice this in FPS spikes or just weird lag stuttering.
With this I also recommend disabling BitLocker encryption. This also slows down downloadspeed anyway, but without fTPM it's not as secure anyway + likely you only use your computer for games and don't take it anywhere, so no need to worry about your computer being stolen along with everything saved on it being in their hands now.
If you're worried about data being taken off your hard drive by others, then keep it enabled; but it slows your SSD down by about 60% unfortunately.
---
I recommend disabling file indexing on your SSDs. My computer, select a drive, then properties, there is a check on that screen.
---
I also recommend disabling SysMain, a service. Just prevent it from starting up when windows starts.
---
So 1 Gigabit internet, means about 125MiB/s (megabytes)
You should be able to reach this, that is why I give these things as advise.

Check your Power Management settings and make sure you're running on Performance, not on Balanced power plan.
Yeah... what else? I'd need to think lol, but I can recommend this at least.
