The compiled HTML (python*.chm) documentation is also included in the
official PSF (python.org) distribution. It's in the "Doc" folder. The
installer should create a shortcut to it in the start menu.

The current release of Windows 10 includes a `python` command that
installs the 3.7 app bundle from the Microsoft Store. This is a simple
one-click install method that should be easy for anyone. Unfortunately
the above-mentioned python37.chm file is not included in this
distribution.
