I am trying to install python on my surface with windows 10, version 1903,

as well as "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" and not in any users
folders either. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice. Once after
shutting down and restarting. Your help would be appreciated as I am
taking an on-line programming class.
Unless you specifically selected "install for all users" it's probably
going to be installed to your home directory under the hidden folder
"AppData," specially "AppData\Local\Programs\Python." Be sure to tell
In particular, C:\Users\Yourname\AppDate....
the installer to put python in your path--that way no matter where it
is, from the command prompt you can just run "python" and it will fire
up the interpreter. Additionally, "Idle" (the integrated development
environment) will probably be in your start menu.
There should also be a plain python icon in the Python3.8 group. In any
case,
>>> import sys; sys.executable
will give the path to the current python.exe.
Hmm, actually I think the AppData install path is if you install from
the Microsoft Store, which you could try.
That is the default for the python.org installer.
