32 bit on a 64 bit PC and Windows version should work, 64 bit on 32 bit
Windows probably not. So, if you kept your second attempt, that should
be enough to start with.

IDLE and the Python shell both start with windows showing text like this:
Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 27 2018, 04:59:51) [MSC v.1914 64
bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

Did you get something like this? In that case nothing was wrong, Python
just waited for your commands. The manual contains a tutorial which
starts using the interactive interpreter - try it out. If you don't get
the results the tutorial predicts, come back here or subscribe to the
tutor list:

If your "small windows" don't contain such a header, that really would
look wrong. In that case: are they completely empty? Or what else? If
they contain any text at all, can you copy and paste it into your
answer? Please don't try to send a screenshot, the list won't accept it.
