How does this command prompt look?

Like this, only with "Python 3.9.0", another date etc.?

Python 3.8.6 (tags/v3.8.6:db45529, Sep 23 2020, 15:52:53) [MSC v.1927 64 
bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>>

That would be exactly right: you have opened the interactive interpreter 
where you can try out things - evaluate expressions, write short 
functions and call them etc. At this point the official tutorial will 
help further.

Or like this (other version number, other starting directory)?

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.508]

In that case something is really wrong: this would be the usual Windows 
command prompt, nothing to do with Python.
