As it's recommended to use the Python Launcher py on Windows, I use

py -m pip install something

I adopted that practice years ago on Linux as well after wasting what
seemed like most of a day trying to figure out problems which turned
out to be caused by the fact that "pip" and "python" invoked different
versions of Python.
Although you still need to be aware that there might be a different
Python installation between e.g. "python3 -m pip" and "python3.11 -m
pip", etc. depending on what's been installed.
