Let us jump right into the steps to take your python script and make it a .exe program.

Step 1 - Add Python To Windows PATH (Manually)

Click the following link to add python to windows PATH manually or when you set up python for the first time: How to add python to Windows Path.

A. Right-click on the command prompt and run as administrator.

B. Cd to the directory of your python script, for example:

Cd C:\Users\Thinkpad.THINK\Desktop\Python_Vs

Step 3 - copy and paste the following command to create a virtual environment :

py -m venv env

Step 4 - copy and paste: env\Scripts\activate

Step 5 - copy and paste: pip install pyinstaller

Step 6 - copy and paste: pyinstaller --onefile Your_File_Name.py

Step 7 - go to the Dist folder and run the exe file.

When I first tried to do this, I had trouble because python was not in the windows PATH, so make sure that is there first before attempting this.

I added a logo to my program, but I still want to make a GUI and more functionality to the program I am working on finishing.
