Thank you and appreciate it, I was about to ask that and thanks for explaining.

But what about the code editor, can you recommend one?

Notepad++. It has initial python support and is not so intimidating as VS Code. However, you can install both and see which of the two looks better to you.

Thanks for the great response. I am going to start with Notepad++ and decided to focus with Python.

You might wanna try Atom as this supports many languages and it's free to use.

Yeah, just use Notepad++ or even Notepad. It’s basic, mostly unopinionated and gets you going on your goal of learning to program.

Don’t mess with editors like Atom or VS Code right now. They will only serve to sidetrack you.
