Open the Powershell application: Press the Windows key to open the start screen. In the search box, type “powershell”. ... Execute command : type python --version and press enter. The Python version appears in the next line below your command.

Sure it will. You can also use the 'pip' command (for installing any Python modules etc.)' in CMD for example: pip install Numpy And so on...

Hi, can you tell me, more information, about where you need to run a python script... Maybe you can't run in cmd? And what is the error message?
