The new Win11 desktop is now running.

Click on "Download Windows installer (64-bit) <https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.13.9/python-3.13.9-amd64.exe>". That will download the installer, which is at https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.13.9/python-3.13.9-amd64.exe. I don't remember ever having a problem installing Python on Windows. (I've recently switched to Linux.)
