We have been telling you to type "py -3.8" instead of typing "python". 
We have been telling you to type "py -3.8 -m pip" instead of "python -m 
pip".  Now you complain that you did something else and got a wrong result.

If you want to upgrade pip for Python 3.8, then follow the pattern and 
type "py -3.8 -m pip install --upgrade pip".  Everywhere you would have 
typed "python" type "py -3.8" instead.
