Python Part 4 - Virtual Environments

I had a fair bit of knowledge in Python having learned from other videos. However, I started viewing WiseOwl tutorials from Part 1 onward because they are structured very well starting from basics and explained meticulously. Therefore, your lectures help by giving a very strong foundation of every topic. Thank you WiseOwl team!

Hello Andy & Sven. Unfortunately when I follow your instructions, I get the following message "\scripts\Activate.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.". I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit. Do you have any tips on how I can continue with the virtual environment? Many thanks in advance.

Hello I have problems activating virtual environments. When I follow your instructions, I get the following message ".\activate.ps1 : File code\VS python
cannot be loaded because
running scripts is disabled on this system." What should I do?
