When you will try to install Python 3.5.0 in Windows 10, the default location of installation will be  C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32 as shown below.


But you can change the path of the installation using Customize Installation along with that check the "Add Python 3.5 to Path" checkbox. We will be installing Python 3.5.0 in path C:\Python35\.
