Yes, but why should anyone besides the OP think pip isn't installed? Let 
him try py -m pip.  If pip isn't installed he will see something like

C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe: No 
module named pip

Then ensurepip should take care of it. Otherwise it's just that he 
hasn't tried the one thing that will certainly work as expected if pip 
is present.
