Can't convert negative in Lightroom Classic

C:\Plugins does not exist, unless you create it.
Open Explorer, select C: and add a new folder, e.g. with a right-click.

From the Guide:

Next, copy the “NegativeLabPro.lrplugin” folder into a folder 
that is on your root hard drive. I strongly recommend something 
like C:\Plugins – the placement of this matters because 
of the way folder permissions work in Windows. 
Do NOT try to place this inside an existing Lightroom app folder. 
Placing this folder into C:\Plugins will 
eliminate 90% of installation issues.

The guide simply assumes that everyone knows how to create a new directory…
