Downloading Python for Windows

This segment will walk you through downloading the latest stable version of Python for your Windows computer. It's crucial to download the correct version (64-bit or 32-bit) to ensure Python runs smoothly.

Step 1: Visit the Official Python Website

First, navigate to the official Python website: https://www.python.org/.

Step 2: Navigate to the Downloads Page

On the Python website, hover over the "Downloads" menu at the top of the page and click on "Windows". This will take you to the Windows downloads page.

Step 3: Determine Your Windows System Architecture

Before downloading, you need to know whether your Windows system is 64-bit or 32-bit. Here's how to find out:

  1. Windows 10 & 11:

    • Right-click on the Start button (Windows icon).
    • Select "System".
    • Under "System type", you'll see either "64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor" or "32-bit Operating System, x86-based processor".

  2. Older Windows Versions:

    • Click the Start button.
    • Right-click on "Computer" or "My Computer".
    • Select "Properties".
    • Look for "System type" to see if you have a 64-bit or 32-bit operating system.

Step 4: Download the Correct Installer

On the Python downloads page, you'll see a list of available Python releases. Always choose the latest stable release. Avoid pre-releases or alpha/beta versions unless you have a specific reason to use them.

  • If you have a 64-bit system: Download the "Windows installer (64-bit)" version.
  • If you have a 32-bit system: Download the "Windows installer (32-bit)" version.

Click on the appropriate link to start the download. The file will be an executable (.exe) file.

Important Note: Be careful to select the executable installer and not the embeddable zip file unless you specifically know you need the embeddable version. The executable installer is the standard and easiest way to install Python.
