Had this same problem in Win10. Turns out that pip was installed, just not in the scripts folder. Executing python -m pip --version works fine. python -m ensurepip --default-pip returns: Looking in links: c:\Users\BERTKO~1\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpzbbk5r9_ Requirement already satisfied: pip in c:\users\bert kortenbach\appdata\local\programs\python\python313\lib\site-packages (25.0.1)

This is my first time using Python. Problems problems. Can't say I like it very much so far.
