pip did drop support for Python 2.7 in version 21.0.
So have to install a older version pip install pip==20.0
There is no need to upgrade Python 2.7,if migrate older code you use 2to3 from a Python 3 version.
So need have Python 3 version where test(and use tool eg 2to3) that the older 2.7 code works.

sorry I'm not so good at it, what exactly should i do now just run the code on python3 version and check whether it runs or not??

Yes that's be the first step,you are on Windows install eg Python 3.11 it comes with 2to3 in ...\Python311\Tools\scripts\2to3.py
There is also a online version Python 2 to 3 converter

If i do a demo,i just use from the folder i posted where i save words.py.

The code before that had clear change which is print.

From command line cmd,i use cmder but commands is the same.
Could also install 2to3,then if work from anywhere in cmd.

Look this tutorial .
Install this page Windows installer (64-bit) Windows Recommended
So you add to Path under install,if that not work you look under Fixing Path if needed.
How to change Environment Variables Path
So as this in this image just that you add path to where you have installed Python 3.11.
Then test in cmd again,also my need to restart Pc.
