How to Upgrade:

# Remove older Python version
choco uninstall python
# Manually remove previous Python location from environmental variables $ENV:PATH

# Install newer Python version
choco install python -y
$newPyLocation='C:\Python310' # change to value to the correct path 
$pyScripts="$newPyLocation\Scripts"
$env:path += ";$pyScripts"
$env:path += ";$newPyLocation"

# Install pip (if necessary)
py -3 -m ensurepip

# Upgrade pip
python -m pip install -U pip

PS C:\Windows\system32> python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
