2. C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts

Then run gpupdate /Force on command prompt. If python command doesnt work for 64 bit restart your machine.

Then run python on command prompt. It should show 64 bit

C:\Users\YOURNAME>python
Python 3.6.3 (v3.6.3:2c5fed8, Oct  3 2017, 18:11:49) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Then run below command to install tensorflow CPU version(recommended)

pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
