Here are a few steps to download Python from python.org and confirm the path is set up correctly on Windows:

1. Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download the latest Python 3.x installer for Windows. Make sure to download the 64-bit version.

2. Run the installer and make sure to check the option to "Add Python to PATH" during installation. This will automatically add Python to your system PATH.

3. Open a new command prompt window and type `python --version` to verify Python installed correctly and the PATH is set up. This should print the installed Python version.

4. You can also type `python` to open the Python interactive interpreter, which confirms Python is working.

5. To test importing a module, try `import tkinter` for example. If no errors, the Python install and PATH are good to go.

6. The default installation path on Windows is C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\PythonXX where XX is the version number. But this can be changed during installation.
