These sorts of questions get asked by many people.  When I have an
error message that I cannot figure out I do an Internet search for
that error message.  But since this is a Python-related question, I
might first search the Python list archives at
https://www.mail-archive.com/python-list@python.org/ or the Python
Tutor list archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/tutor@python.org/
Doing the former (Searching just for
"api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll") led me to this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/python-list%40python.org/msg402592.html
I have not looked at this in depth, but the second item mentioned
(Since you state you have Win 7 64 bit.) seems appropriate.  Usually I
can solve my own problems much quicker this way than waiting on
someone to respond on this (or other) mailing lists!

BTW, if you are a beginner learning Python you might want to subscribe
to the Python Tutor list as it is designed for those of us who are
learning...
