please help this newb install pygame
#4
Im not up to par with the windows methods as i haven't used windows in decades.

When you install the latest python make sure you have the check boxes marked for adding python to path, pip, py launcher, etc. shown here. Check that link instructions to make sure your pip and python is in the path. Then try to reinstall pygame with pip

This i believe means your pip is not in your path. That or you are trying to run it from the python interpreter and not the windows command prompt? This means you did not follow the installation instructions properly.

you can try using the py launcher if you installed it along with python
py -3.7 -m pip install pygame
here are some more detailed pygame installation instructions
