Could I please ask for help installing Python on Windows 10 - I've tried twice 
(Version 3.7 for windows) selecting the install now option. After first attempt 
I uninstalled and tried again.

Each time it has put 4 items in the programs list from the windows start 
button, all under heading Python 3.7, but the first time they said 64 bit and 
the second time only 32 bit - I guess I must have clicked on different versions.

32 bit on a 64 bit PC and Windows version should work, 64 bit on 32 bit Windows probably not. So, if you kept your second attempt, that should be enough to start with.

Both times there was IDLE, Python 3.7, Manuals, and Module Docs. The last two 
of these worked when clicked on, but the first two just put up a small window 
of which first was white, and second was black, but I couldn't make them do 
anything.

IDLE and the Python shell both start with windows showing text like this:

Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 27 2018, 04:59:51) [MSC v.1914 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

Did you get something like this? In that case nothing was wrong, Python just waited for your commands. The manual contains a tutorial which starts using the interactive interpreter - try it out. If you don't get the results the tutorial predicts, come back here or subscribe to the tutor list:

If your "small windows" don't contain such a header, that really would look wrong. In that case: are they completely empty? Or what else? If they contain any text at all, can you copy and paste it into your answer? Please don't try to send a screenshot, the list won't accept it.
