pip install for windows running into anaconda error

I am trying to pip install pyrtlsdr for the software defined radio RTL-SDR (RTL2832U), but am running into issues with anaconda I believe. I am receiving two errors in cmd, although I am getting the same response through cygwin and cmder. I am running the following command:

pip install pyrtlsdr

However, when I run this command, I see the following error:

pip install pyrtlsdr
Collecting pyrtlsdr
  Using cached pyrtlsdr-0.2.4-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: pyrtlsdr

You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' 
command.

What exactly is wrong here? I do not know how to force privileges in this file that I think is causing issues, additionally, I also do not know why I am receiving the same error when I run the suggested upgrade in this error.

Try running the cmd line as administrator, this should give write privilege to C drive.
