The key is that you have to run the command at the CMD prompt, not at
the Python interpreter prompt. The two commands "pip" and "python -m
pip" are basically equivalent, but the executables "python.exe" and
"pip.exe" are installed in different places, and it's possible that
one might be on your PATH but not the other. I knew you were able to
run "python", so I recommended "python -m pip" to avoid the risk that
"pip" wouldn't work because of PATH issues.

Hope that clarifies.
