If you have Python version 3.4 or later, PIP is included by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We get to upgrade the Python installation in <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/windows\">Windows<\/a> 10. To do this first, open the command prompt or PowerShell and run the following command to upgrade pip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">&gt;python -m pip install --upgrade pip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now can use pip to upgrade Python by running the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">&gt;pip install --upgrade python<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This will upgrade the version of Python that is associated with the pip executable on your system. In many cases this may not be the version of Python that is used by default in the command prompt or PowerShell. You can have several Python versions on a single system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to upgrade the default version of Python, you will need to download the latest version of Python from the official website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.python.org\/downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> and run the installer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of this short tutorial you will learn how to upgrade the Python installation in Windows 10 using two methods.
