calling python 3.6 in cmd instead of python 2.7

Question

Whenever I try to run python 3.6 in cmd, I only get python 2.7. I need both on my computer. I changed the PATH, I repaired python3.6, I tried moving it etc.

I write "python" in cmd to call it but its always 2.7 even if it is not in the path anymore

To call python3 from an absolute path, you can use "C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\python.exe" . For example, "C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\python.exe" hello.py .
