How do I upgrade from pip 1.0?

I was trying to install a package which required an older version of pip and (stupidly) thought it would be a good idea to try installing the oldest version of pip possible (1.0). To clarify, it is not pip 1.0.1 (which most guides I found on the internet refer to), but pip 1.0

When I attempt to run 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip', I get the following error:

C:\mydirectory\venv\Scripts\python.exe: No module named pip.__main__; 'pip' is a package and cannot be directly executed

When I run 'pip --version', I get the following info:

pip 1.0 from c:\mydirectory\venv\lib\site-packages (python 3.7)

Is there any way I can upgrade pip from this point?
