Why does it continue to say that the whl file is not supported on this platform?

Question

I'm attempting to set up pygame on another computer, but it continues to say that my wheel is not supported. I've downloaded and upgraded my wheel and the pip install function, and I also am running python 3.7.4, please help me. This is what it says:

ERROR: pygame-1.9.6-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Maybe you are using a 32 bit Python on a 64 bit Windows.

Installing the following file solved the issue: install this package

pip install pygame-1.9.6-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl
