It looks like Windows 7 supports up to Python 3.8.18 https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3818/ For a complete list of versions available: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ Notice all higher releases do not work on Windows 7. If you really want 3.9, I suggest setting up VirtualBox and install Linux on it. Then you can install any Python into the Linux virtual machine.

(some) Linux has python by default. that should be a great choice. which Linux? I've been an active Fedora "user" since 2012, but used it earlier as well. for 32-bit use Debian.

It is safe to use windows 10. Later you will know that many software do not support window 7 like nodejs, blender, jetbrains ide etc and you will not have a choice. I use linux too and there is Python by default but there is no IDLE that comes with Python for windows

The question would be why are you still using Windows 7? Upgrading or switching to Linux would be the wiser choice.
