Answer 1

I've encountered the same problem after I updated pip to 20.1.x version through Pycharm. I've found one way to ensure that you can use pip install xxx in emergency case:

1. Open the folder containing pip (e.g. C:\Program Files\Python37\Lib in my win10 laptop)
2. You may find two folders separately belongs to the old version pip and newly installed pip (e.g. ./pip19_xxx for your old one and ./pip for the newly installed one
3. Delete the folder of the new version pip (e.g. ./pip)
4. (IF NECESSARY) Change environment PATH in windows10
5. Test pip install xxx or python -m pip install xxx in cmd, it should work by now
