why not 3.8.5, by the way?

what does this mean?   uninstall should work like any uninstall on your
platform. in what way doesn't it want to uninstall?

it doesn't hurt to have more than one.  If you're on Windows, and use
the Python Launcher, you can show all your installs, and use it to
select the one you want:

py --list
py -3.7        # specifically pick 3.7
py -3.8-32   # pick 32-bit 3.8, if both 64-bit and 32-bit are installed
py -3-64      # pick latest 64-bit Py3

The one reason you might be unhappy with both is that the Python
Launcher picks the highest numbered one as the default, so just

py

would get you 32-bit 3.8.   if both 64-bit and 32-bit of same version
are installed, the 64-bit one is preferred.
