Windows does not have a spotlight tool like MacOS, but you can use “Alt + Space” to open a Spotlight like search. That being said, it does not install Python for you or anything.

You want to download an appropriate .msi or .exe file here and then run that: [Python Releases for Windows | Python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/). If you plan to use VSCode, there are more comprehensive instructions here: [Get Started Tutorial for Python in Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial)

Try running the following PowerShell command, before running the Activate.ps1

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned  
or  
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Note that you need to run Powershell as Administrator to execute the command.
