While importing tensorflow i'm getting an error:

From this line in your trace back "C:\Users\Nik\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py" I come to the conclusion that you are using python 3.7, python 3.7 doesn't support tensorflow as of yet, also it looks like you upgraded from python 3.6 given you didn't face a no module named tensorflow during your pip install.

The only solution is to work with python 3.6 as of now, so you will either need to downgrade your python or install conda and create an environment with python 3.6
