Apologies for what's probably a dumb question, but is it in your Start
menu? I don't know Win 10 very well - I used Windows plenty back in
the XP days, but now I'm all Linux, apart from a bit of testing and
VMs and stuff. Normally, after Python's installed, I'd go looking for
it in the Start menu, in a folder called "Python X.Y" (in your case,
"Python 3.6").
