	Who "told" you? What reference -- so that others may evaluate that
advice.

	Please cut&paste the TEXT from console windows. Screen grabs take lots
of message space, and are nearly illegible on some devices (especially if
said device/application is resizing the image to display it -- in order to
read your screen grab, I have to go through the effort of saving the image
to my computer, finding the saved image, and then opening it in some
graphics application!).

	Based upon the image, I would say that you need to run using an
elevated admin account (even in an account with admin privileges, the
normal shell is not elevated). Alternatively: follow the instructions in
the error message and run the install "for current user only". Or;
uninstall the Python that is sitting in "Program Files" and pick a
different location when you run the Python installer (C:\Python37\ for
example). Windows sets all files in "Program Files" (and the 32 bit
variant) as read/execute only -- so that a running application (a Trojan
web site) can't install or make changes to the files. That means only
elevated processes can change the contents. By installing Python outside of
"Program Files", any user (unless you manually create ACLs to limit access)
can install PIP modules with no problem, and without having to use the
"single user" install option.
