I found the issue an the solution too.

First in not English native so at the first read in didn't get it.

The path where I've installed python wasn't good or something like that so pip couldn't retrieved it properly. The message is more or less clear about that fact.

Here is what I did:

1. uninstall pip
2. uninstall python 3.8.0
3. install python 3.8.5 with personalized config (not the recommended) because the install exe wanted to install python to the same folder than the last version. So I choose "C:\\Program" and install Pip too with the prompt installer in order to get it to same folder.

Now it works fine for me.

Morality => don't install python to this path C:\\Users\\GMU\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\..

Windows is recommending you to add python to your PATH. When you add python to your PATH, you will be able to execute pip in your command prompt.

I would recommend having a look at this https://geek-university.com/python/add-python-to-the-windows-path/ .
