no module named 'pip' on windows while installing openpyxl

I am install a third party module for the first time.

I am on python 3.10. I have download the openpyxl and extracted the zip folder into:

D:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib

Then I went to:

D:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts

Typed cmd on the address bar and then typed pip install openpyxl.

This is the message returned:

D:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts>pip install openpyxl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\runpy.py", line 196, in _run_module_as_main
    return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,
  File "D:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\runpy.py", line 86, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "D:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 4, in <module>

That's because pip is an Alias. The true command is indeed pip3 (or pip2 depending on what Python version you're using). For Ubuntu, there is an useful tool called python3-is-python which creates this alias. Try looking if this also exists for Windows!

Also, make sure you are running the cmd as administrator. It is very common for Windows to not be able to see those commands.
