If you start Python from the Python directory on the Start menu, you 
should see a black window with a '>>> ' prompt.  This is the interactive 
Python prompt.  The title bar should also say 'Python'.  If you open a 
Windows Command Prompt window, it will have a different title and a 
'/User/login_name>' prompt (on Win 10).

Perhaps you unclicked the option to install tkinter, IDLE, and turtle. 
In the Python window, enter 'import tkinter' and report the result.

That is not a problem.  What Windows version?  If XP, 3.5 will not work.
