When I try pip install numpy, it outputs an error:

      Run-time dependency python found: YES 3.11
      Has header "Python.h" with dependency python-3.11: NO

The last two lines are what grabbed my attention. I want to use Python 3.13, because I think it will come with this header (Python.h) and solve the issue.

I tried installing Python 3.13 from official website, from Microsoft Store and adding the files to PATH at the top, but it didn't work. When I type python --version in cmd, it outputs 3.11.7. Same for python3 --version. I am sure I added the files to the Path correctly. How can I fix this?
