Failing to install Python

2025-12-01 Thread emerogork 
I have installed Python on two Win10 computers over the last 20 years. Only 
after several spits and starts each time did it finally work. The new Win11 
desktop is now running. I can't help but think there is an easier way to get it 
installed than my previous efforts.

Is there a simple PHD (Push Here Dummy) version available for this new, clean 
machine?
I went to Python.org and struggled with the small pale-blue-on-white font. (Why 
do they do that?) but had no luck.

Guidance appreciated.

Assuming you have a 64-bit Intel/AMD PC:

Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/.

Click on "Download Windows installer (64-bit) 
".


That will download the installer, which is at 
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.13.9/python-3.13.9-amd64.exe.


I don't remember ever having a problem installing Python on Windows. 
(I've recently switched to Linux.)
