Everything I read says that pip should have been installed with my download of PYTHON 3.10.2, yet my every attempt to use pip is rejected with some statement to the effect of  
“‘pip’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, opereable program, or batch file.”

my command line looks like:  
C:\Users\James Parks\>pip install PyPDF2

My computer came with Windows 11 installed, but the Command Prompt screen says “Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.22000.493]”

Help?
