As one of the best programming languages to learn and use, it’s no wonder that millions of new programmers are turning their attention to learning Python. It offers a low barrier to entry, with Python support available on all major operating systems, allowing you to build projects from websites to desktop games (and more).

Python usually comes pre-installed on macOS and Linux, but Windows users have a few additional hurdles to jump through before they can use Python for their projects. Here’s what you need to know if you want to learn how to use Python on Windows.

Since Python is not pre-installed with Windows, you will need to install it first. There are two versions of Python available: Python 3 and Python 2. For compatibility reasons, you may need to install and use Python 2 with older Python software.
