My python version is 3.10, Windows 11 64-bit I am using Pycharm any help would be welcome

"as installing from pip doesn't work"—I suggest you ask about _this_. What does "doesn't work" mean? This is clearly an [XY problem](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/66377/248627). — ChrisGPT was on strike, Apr 15 '22 at 13:38
platform, as in the your computer's architecture (windows, linux, mac, mac M1?). The wheel you are installing appears to be for windows 64-bit, is that right? — myz540, Apr 15 '22 at 13:50

Try installing with conda.

A lot of libraries that require C/C++ code to be compiled as part of their build and installation can be finicky on windows machines.
