"Access is denied" sounds like you've installed Python for all users (i.e. in C:\Program Files) and you're not using an elevated prompt to run pip. If you have Python in C:\Program Files, you either need to install modules in your user environment (via pip install --user) which means they'll only be visible to you, or you need to be running as a system administrator to install them for anyone (which means running pip from a command prompt that was opened via "run as administrator")
