Not “the python for windows” (that would be some species of snake), but 
_Python_ for _Windows_, the programming language interpreter.  Just do as 
“the computer advised”.

Have you installed Python first?  If no, it cannot work (and please think 
about this: What good is an IDE/editor for a programming language if you do 
not also have the interpreter/compiler?).  It says so in the “Quick Start 
Guide” in the “PyCharm 5.0 Help”, currently to be found on the PyCharm Web 
site under “Docs & Demos”:

Have you tried to install Python ≥ 3.4.4rc1 on Windows XP?  If yes, it 
cannot work; you need Python < 3.4.4rc1 instead (and you should seriously 
consider upgrading Windows or even better, to switch to a real operating 
system, like GNU/Linux – many of the latter come for free and give you more 
freedom than Windows):
