While I agree that Linux is a good solution for programming in
general and python in particular I don't think its a realistic
solution for a Windows user with one single program that
doesn't run.

This would be especially true in a work environment where IT
support, network connectivity, and other bespoke programs may
need to be used.

However, if this is a personal PC then a switch of OS (or dual boot)
might be viable.  Or as a half way house install cygwin which provides
most of Linux advantages inside Windows. (You might have succcess
with the Linux Subsystem for Windows(LSW?) but I don't think it
has the same app-store support as cygwin yet)

But the simplest option is simply install a new version 3.7.
Mats has suggested trying the windows store version, which is a
very good idea.
