Previously, I used to use python3.8. But recently, I have downloaded python 3.10. And also changed the path variable to the newer python version. But still, when I run the python version command in cmd, I am seeing the older version.

The path of python 3.10, I gave in the path field of Environment variables is: C:\Users\vssnr\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts

But in cmd, when I ran the following the results are looking like this :

Command 1: pip --version

pip 22.0.4 from C:\Users\vssnr\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.10)

Command 2: python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Command 3: python --version

Python 3.8.10

All these commands are given at the same location. Please inform me how I can able to shift to Python 3.10. Also to uninstall the python3.8, I am not able to find it in uninstalling the apps, but I can find the 3.10 one. Please tell me why can not I find the python 3.8 in this location >> Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features

  • Seems like your PATH is messed up, containing Python 3.8.10 but the Scripts for Python 3.10. Enter your paths here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17176423/10513287 – ivvija May 10 '22 at 11:09

Maybe, there can be a PATH problem. You can add the Python to Windows Path like this https://geek-university.com/add-python-to-the-windows-path/ and you can check again Python versions with commands on cmd: python -v or python3 -v
