Complete noob here.
I am following MIT 6.0001 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python. The instructor suggests to install Anaconda for this course. But I have Python 3.7 installed in my Windows 10 system already.
While installing Anaconda, I faced some problems which is currently beyond my level of understanding.
When I checked the box titled "Register Anaconda as my default Python 3.7" the following prompt was shown on the screen.
I don't know how to proceed further. Please help me understand what these things mean and how will it affect my installation and future workflow. Also, please suggest me best way proceed further.

You can just go ahead and say "Ok" You will get anaconda distribution installed alongside your normal python IDLE. Your python installation should still work, like mine it works well.
If You Already Have Python Installed Leaving it unchecked means that you will have to use Anaconda Command Prompt in order to use Anaconda. So, unless you add the PATH later, you will not be able to use Python from your command prompt.
Anaconda supports Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10. The current default is Python 3.9.
can I install multiple versions of Anaconda? You can but because of the answer above you don't need to and shouldn't. Instead of multiple Anaconda versions, just create multiple environments with the versions of packages you need. what is the difference between jupyter notebook & jupyter lab?
You have two things you can do:
1.You can just go ahead and say "Ok" You will get anaconda distribution installed alongside your normal python IDLE. Your python installation should still work, like mine it works well.
2.You can also say: "cancel". -Go back to your installed program and uninstall python. . -Then start installation of anaconda.
Everything should run just fine.
