13,298 Points- to create new virtual environment you need to find the path of where virtualenv.exe is. For example In my computer (I use windows 7) it is: C:\python35\Scripts. 2.You can add that path to the system path of your computer. I do not know how exactly do that on windows 10, but may be this can help: http://superuser.com/questions/949560/how-do-i-set-system-environment-variables-in-windows-10
- After adding a path of virtualenv to your system path, for creating new virtual environment you can type in cmd: virtualenv name_of_new_env.
p.s. be careful editing your system path, do not remove something accidently.
