once you open that Olde Python that you can't find:

 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.executable

voila! you've found it.

As noted elsewhere, for the python.org version, the Python Launcher 
exists for this purpose.

py --list

shows you which Pythons it knows about, and with a '*' which one is the 
default. You can instruct py which one should be default (for that you 
need to create an ini file), but it will otherwise choose the latest, so 
you shouldn't have the problem of it choosing 2.7 over 3.11 with the 
launcher.
