Use

py -m pip


pip-the-command goes in a different directory on Windows, which probably
didn't get added to your PATH - but you probably don't want to do that
anyway.

e.g. if Python was in

\Users\geoff\AppData\Local\Progrms\Python38

then the pip command will be in

\Users\geoff\AppData\Local\Progrms\Python38\Scripts


But use it as a module - you have a better chance of package installs
staying in sync with the version of Python you use, eventually there
will probably be several of those....
