How can I solve this error ? Should I install a different version of Windows in order to make this work ?

Check the last line:

Why don't you just install Service Pack 1? Here is the download link. https://www.microsoft.com/en-GB/download/details.aspx?id=5842

Yes, you must have to install Service Pack 1 in order to make it installed. or you have to continue your stuff with Python 2.7.
Download Service Pack 1 from the link suggested by @jerrycheng

Well, I faced the same issue while downloading and installing python 3.7.7 from the official website. But, soon I realized the Anaconda environment lets you update python easily without much effort.
If you have Anaconda preinstalled, then on cmd prompt, enter: conda update python which will update your existing version of python. I was able to update my python from 3.7.0 to 3.7.7.
