Do you have proper installation of python and pip? Many windows users don't have.

It's best to use virtual environments.

Step 1. Create a virtual environment and activate it (tutorial )
Step 2. Run python --version and pip --version to check if everything all right.
Step 3. Run pip list to see list of packages installed
Step 4. Run pip install --upgrade PyGitHub
Step 5. To check if the installation succeeded, run pip show PyGitHub
