Buen trabajo, me estaba volviendo loco, tratando de crear un entorno virtual con Python 3.11.5 y mi instalación global era 3.12.0

Can you explain how to upgrade minor version of python in local machine, without any effects to VENVs which already created by using existing python version ?

Even after globally installing virtualenv I keep on getting this error

'virtualenv' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Please help, I am badly stuck with my project because of this
