On the main folder of your venv, there's a file called "pyvenv.cfg"

Open with notepad and it will be like:

home = c:\program files (x86)\python38-32
implementation = CPython
version_info = 3.8.3.final.0
virtualenv = 20.0.21
include-system-site-packages = false
base-prefix = c:\program files (x86)\python38-32
base-exec-prefix = c:\program files (x86)\python38-32
base-executable = c:\program files (x86)\python38-32\python.exe

Make sure to change this line: include-system-site-packages = true

Also, make sure to give yourself Full Control of the venv folder. Right click on the folder, Proprieties, Security, Edit. Then select your User and enable full control.

After that, start your venv and pip should be working.

Try updating pip. You can do this by:

pip install --upgrade pip

Make sure you run this as administrator. Additionally check if virtualenv is installed via 

pip list
