Can't update new python version on Pycharm

[GOKUUUU]

Hello, I installed new pyhton version 3.10.5 and deleted the previous one 3.8.. and now I can update the new python version to Pycharm. I have a few projects I wanna update the python version to, and in general I want the new Python version to be loaded when I'm creating new project on pycharm.

What I'm doing to try to update new Python version to a project is this: file > Settings > Projects > Project: (nameofproject) > Project Interpreter and there I'm choosing the location of the new Python EXE version, but there it doesnt let press OK unless I'm changin the location of the project to a new folder. After that I press ok but I get a message that it wasn't able to create interpreter:




Now, when I'm trying to make it so that when I create a new project on Pycharm it will open on the new Python version I do this: File > New project and then I open the drop down menu 'Project Interpreter' and choosing the location of the Python EXE and I did above, but then I get basically the same message:




Thank for helpers in advance!

Look at Configure a Python interpreter
Set default interpreter to your Python version 3.10.5(point to python.exe).
Now it find a old virtualenv 16.4.3(2011) version and try to use that.
Also in first image there is venv(then will PyCharm make a virtual environment)
Look a link given and fix this.

Also from command line so is best that python and pip point to your new version.
Test from cmd example:

C:\
λ Python -V
Python 3.10.5

# Your output here is path you set in PyCharm
C:\
λ python -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"
C:\python310\python.exe

# pip shall of course point to same Path(root folder)
C:\
λ pip -V
pip 22.0.4 from C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.10)

Ye pip is in the same folder as the new version, I did all that to install Pygam initially btw becuase pygame did work for me, and now pygame works in python. anyway I did the steps above and I even upgraded virtualenv and still same messages as above pictures...

Image clearly show that you use virtual environment(PyCharm has this a default setup),you most change this for now it find a old one unless one.
Do at image under,of course with Path to your Python 3.10.5 interpreter(python.exe).

Man I appriciate the help but I don't understand what you are saying. I upgraded virtualenv to 20.15.1 and it still trying to load the old one 16.4.3.
your instruction in english are unclear.

This should not be difficult,also i don't use PyCharm as my editor.
When start File --> New Project then this Window under pop up.
The follow instruction in image,then it will use your Python 3.10.5 interpreter(python.exe),and not virtual environment at all.

I did that before you wrong and that didn't work aswell. I eventually upgraded pycharm to the latest version and it loaded the new python and veng and now its all good. Appriciate the help!
