I propose you the mother of all challenges.
Help me install Python from the official website.
Computer specs:
> Windows 8.1
> 64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor.
Step 1: which file should I pick?
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

The installation appeared to be successful. I restarted the computer. Now, when I runt he IDLE, a system error pops up - pythonw.exe,
> The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missingr from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
What to do now? A quick google search lead me to this website:
https://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/the-program-cant-start-because-api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0dll-is-missing-f2702.html
Should I follow its advice and download -> Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 (64-bit)?
Recommendations please.

api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is part of the Visual C Runtime environment. So yeah, either if you already got an older version you have to install the update

Or if none at all the Studio itself.
But to just use a bit Pyton you can also use repl.it and do it in your browser. Unless you do highly complex professional Python work that will be enough for you for a long time.
