You have by now seen several responses, and the one most likely to be 
helpful is to run pip with

py -m pip

I would like to suggest some ways you can make it more likely that  you 
will get useful suggestions in the future.  Basically, please fill in 
details about your situation.

1. Say what operating system your computer is running.  All the 
responses so far have assumed that it is some version of Windows.  This 
may or may not be correct.  We can infer it in this case from the 
message you reported ("'pip' is not recognized as an internal or 
external command, operable program, or batch file."), but you should say 
so that we don't need to guess.

2. Since this question is about your python installation, say how you 
installed it, since there are several possibilities.  For example, you 
may have used the installer from python.org, you may have installed it 
from the Microsoft store, etc.  These different installations are not 
always the same.

3.  When you wrote that you "verified that the PATH environment variable 
is correctly configured to include the path to the Python Scripts 
directory", tell us what that PATH actually is, not just that it is 
"correct".  We don't know if your idea of "correct" matches ours.

4.  Say how you tried to run programs that appeared to fail - running 
"python" in a console may launch a different version from the one you 
expect.  On Windows, running "py" will run the most recent one.

BTW, my own python.org installation of Python 3.11 on Windows 10 does 
not include a get-pip.exe or a get-pip.py in its Python311\Scripts 
directory (not that it was needed).
