Check Your Windows Version
Before you can install Python on your Windows system, it's important to first check which version of Windows you are running.

Head over to the official Python website at www.python.org, where you'll find the latest version available for download. Make sure to choose the correct version for your Windows system – either 32-bit or 64-bit – depending on your operating system specifications.
Installing Python
After downloading the Python installer, it's time to begin the installation process. Simply run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to set up Python on your Windows machine. You'll have the option to customize the installation settings if you wish, such as choosing the installation directory and adding Python to your system PATH for easier access.
