1. Download from https://python.org (not Microsoft) and always choose the 64-bit stable version
2. Choose the installation location as C:\Python311 (avoid the default)4. Accept other recommended installation options especially to include Python on the path (if offered)
Guaranteed to work. Also, you will never have to uninstall. Install the next version in C:\Python312 etc
In due course, investigate virtual environments so you can work on projects simultaneously using different versions of Python or different versions of various Python libraries.
Good luck Mike
If you are just starting out, the most recent version is 3.12 and is probably your best choice. When you say it never worked, can you describe in more detail what you did and what error messages you encountered? This mailing list does not accept screenshots.
