Ok, using "Open with Python" , the program fails on both computers.
Still, double-click the filename on the WIN10 computer and the program

Then set up the file association for .py files in Settings/Default
apps. And write a different test program, one that will stay around so
you can see error messages. Perhaps (untested)
from time import sleep
print('this is a test')
sleep(10) # sleep 10 seconds

# while True:
# sleep(10) # Break out of loop by closing the console that is

This will keep the console open so you can see messages and the output
from the print() statement.
"program fails" isn't helpful unless we can figure out what is
happening. I still think that your program isn't actually getting run.
This suggestion will make a start at finding out what's going on.

Instead of 'sleep', you could just add an input line:
print('This is a test')
input('Press Enter to finish')
Just as good! The important thing is to see if the program is actually
getting launched. If the Python program fails to run then the console
window won't appear for more than a brief flash. If it runs but there
is some problem about creating/opening that file, well, this program
doesn't try. We're just trying to see if a .py file gets launched in
the way that is being used. We need to know if the launching process is
failing or that new file is bombing out somehow.
