Cannot install via pip

I went on https://pytorch.org/ and entered the combination that fit my system (Stable, Windows, Pip, Python, CPU). I copy and pasted the command in Command Prompt and got this message:

>pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio
WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip (d:\program files (x86)\python\lib\site-packages)
WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip (d:\program files (x86)\python\lib\site-packages)
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch (from versions: none)

WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip (d:\program files (x86)\python\lib\site-packages)
WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip (d:\program files (x86)\python\lib\site-packages)

I don’t understand why that wouldn’t work.

It seems that pytorch will refuse to install if Python version is greater than 3.79, and I am using Python 3.9. The only way to downgrade Python is by creating a virtual environment with Anaconda. I find that very frustrating because I want to run pytorch on my regular machine, not with this complicated overhead. I welcome any other suggestions.
