Trouble changing the ports on network

Hello, so pretty much I have downloaded steam on my brand new pc, and pretty much when I open up the steam app itself after the setup it comes up with a fatal error message. and also this is the same with my laptop so its nothing wrong with the pc itself.

But what I was thinking is that I need to open the ports on the bit of the site where you input your Ip address onto the web search bar, so I got to that bit but when I go to change the port it comes up with the message

'The selected port cannot be configured as it is reserved for internal usage. Please use a different port.'

I'm very new to this so I have no idea what that means and how to get around it, help?

Please tell us the following:

- the error message that you see,

- the operating system of your PC.

I have never had to make an adjustment on the router to make Steam work.
