Wow. Who knew. No, you can't edit those forms with Acrobat. LiveCycle was part of an enterprise level product and is not part of the Cloud. One of the biggest creators of LiveCycle forms was the IRS, which was till creating forms March of this year. It has been replaced by Adobe Experiences Manager.
All this according to a post on the LiveCycle forum. Just search something like "edit livecycle with acrobat."

This seems odd. Are you sure you didn't open up an old version of Acrobat by mistake? It seems like Livecycle was bundled with Acrobat X and removed for Acrobat XI... but XI was discontinued in 2017.
I've got Acrobat DC 2019.10.20064, which can edit, and CC doesn't show any updates available.
I would try opening Acrobat DC through the CC dashboard and trying to edit the file there. It seems likely there's a file association problem and maybe your new install of Windows has Acrobat XI installed by default.
Cheers,
Jim

Apparently this was bundled with Acrobat once upon a time. There is a workaround if you Google it hard enough. I have a fresh Windows 10 install, so my old versions of everything are history.
