Answer 2

To use pip, you need to run it from the Windows Command Prompt, CMD.EXE. It should show up if you type cmd at the Start menu.

When you go to schedule a Python script, use the "create a basic task" wizard (the full version is needlessly complicated), set the action to "start a program," the program to run as python.exe, and put the script's path and arguments in the arguments box.
