I downloaded Octoprint, used Etcher to flash to my SD card
Opened octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt and edited my wifi information there
then saved and safely removed the SD card
I then installed the SD card on my raspberry pi 4
I opened putty and entered octopi.local, but it won't find it
What did you already try to solve it?
redid all of the above to make sure I did it correctly, still the same answer
Have you tried running in safe mode?

I have a windows computer, it is up to date
and I am trying to install this on my raspberry pi 4 for my Ender 3 v2 for 3d printing
First try http://octopi instead.
If that also doesn't work post a picture of your octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt and blacken your ssid and the password.
There is probably a typo or something similar in that file
No it somehow didn't work.
Not quite sure what happened but you have to see the image before posting it
Let's try it with the octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt.
Just write some sonsense in the ssid and password field and upload the file.
If you have the chance, connect a HDMI TV/monitor to to the Pi.
If it works correctly, the startup sequence will show up.
When it connects to the router, at the end there will be the IP address of the Pi.
You can use that too to connect to the Pi.
As @Ewald_Ikemann mentioned you can try it with the ip or or with just octopi (without the .local)
If you can't connect the pi via hdmi to a screen you could try to open your routers webinterface and check if the pi is listed as connected device.
First of all - is your printer turned on? (not making fun of you - that happens all the time)
If that doesn't help try it again with an sd card inserted into your printer (and if you already had one in it try it without it)
If that also doesn't work, log into your pi via ssh (putty) then disconnect your printer, connect it again, enter dmesg | tail -n 20 and post the output here.
Some USB cables are meant for charging devices and therefore can only supply power and not transmit data. Most cables will transmit data as well as supply power. When you order it make sure it indicates data as well as power. Keep those questions comin'.
.local requires that mDNS is available. mDNS was developed by Apple and is implemented in linux, macos and some routers. If you want your PC to use it make sure you have itunes and BONJOUR (installed as part of itunes installed)
Otherwise, get an IP scanner and scan your network for devices and access via the IP address.
