Answer 1

at this moment up to Python 3.7 is supported

Kivy home page

I use Kivy 1.11 on Windows and Linux with Python 3.7

Kivy installation is pretty difficult so I don't recommend using the newer Python versions as there are relatively few changes above Python 3.7

Answer 2

Try to run:

pip install pipwin
pipwin install kivy

Pipwin has unofficial packages compiled for Windows.

Answer 4

please read the instructions from the kivy documentation clearly, https://kivy.org/doc/stable/installation/installation-windows.html. if you are using pip for installing. please do read about the manual installation of dependencies. I suggest you to use conda prompt (Anaconda Navigator) the first section of documentation or the command below will be enough

conda install kivy -c conda-forge
