Environment details

Install was attempted on Windows 10 in a python virtual env (anaconda) with python version 3.11.2. Prior to installing both torch and numpy were manually installed via pip. Additional attempts were made on a new virtual env using python 3.10.5 and outside of anaconda (python 3.10.5 as well)
