installation of PythonWin to the Python 3.9

Hello,

I'm starting to learn Python with a self-learning book.

So I installed Python 3.9.0 64 bit.
Furthermore, it was recommended in the book to install an additional package (with Windows-specific extensions)
PythonWin from the following link: https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/releases

pywin32-228.win-amd64-py2.7.exe 7.32 MB
pywin32-228.win-amd64-py3.5.exe 9.22 MB
pywin32-228.win-amd64-py3.6.exe 9.24 MB
pywin32-228.win-amd64-py3.7.exe 9.23 MB
pywin32-228.win-amd64-py3.8.exe 9.24 MB
**pywin32-228.win-amd64-py3.9.exe** 9.27 MB
pywin32-228.win32-py2.7.exe 6.74 MB
pywin32-228.win32-py3.5.exe 8.42 MB
pywin32-228.win32-py3.6.exe 8.42 MB
pywin32-228.win32-py3.7.exe 8.44 MB
pywin32-228.win32-py3.8.exe 8.44 MB
pywin32-228.win32-py3.9.exe 8.44 MB
Source code(zip)
Source code(tar.gz)

and to choose an appropriate exe-file option (for the Windows-operating system and the computer).
My PC: Windows 10, 64 bit, processor Intel Core i5.

In the downloads list I saw the following option: pywin32-228.win-amd64-py3.9.exe which should correspond
(as written in the book) to the Python-version and to the 64-bit op-system. According to my logic, in the link py3.9
is corresponding to the Python version, but for 64-bit should correspond amd64? Although amd64 raised me concerns
(because my is Intel... or does it not matter?) and also pywin32, but I found nothing else and downloaded the file
pywin32-228.win-amd64-py3.9.exe . The installation runs without breakings.

But in the next step in the book was showed called PythonWin IDE (as result of installation), which was installed
shortly.

But I don't see at my PC the PythonWin in the start > program list... (picture attached), only the 3 files
which seems to be related to PythonWin here C:\Python39

pythonw.exe ??
pywin32-winninst.log
Removepywin32.exe

What did I do wrong? Could you recommend the right file to install? Or what can I do here to install/call right PythonWin?
The book describes the Python version 3.7.3... I could get to 3.7 if needed, but the higher versions (my 3.9) should be backwards compartible.

What is the name of this book?

there is pywin32, which can be installed from command line with pip install pywin32

This to makes me wonder about the book choice.
In my opinion, any book on learning python should be system independent.
