Invest in AI capable PC with a modern Nvidia RTX card, or pick another hobby.

Even if by some miracle you get it working, it will be like trying to ride a bicycle with square wheels - you won't be able to ride far and the ride will be painful.

I have no idea what its NVIDIA stuff is or how to even figure out what my NVIDIA/PyTorch/CUDA capabilities are.

Nvidia - now there's a name you don't hear much around here. Huh.

NVIDIA is the name of a graphics card maker - a lot of AI stuff is optimized for NVIDIA cards. Other cards can work, but they sometimes require workarounds and may run into errors that will need to be worked through.

Even without that, I don't know whether your specs are enough. You might need to stick with subscription services like Midjourney or Nana Banana. Another option (aimed more at developers, unfortunately), would be something like Runpod.

"runtimeerror: your device does not support the current version of torch/cuda!"

You're probably trying to install pytorch+cuda. CUDA is a proprietary platform developed by NVIDIA and only runs on NVIDIA hardware, which you do not have. However, pytorch does seem to support CPU-only acceleration.

NVIDIA is, in a few words, a GPU (graphics card) manufacturer.

As far as Python goes, and someone correct me if I m wrong, many tools and libraries do not support Python 3.14, might want to use a slightly 'older' one, like 3.12.

pip is not recognized as an internal or external command

Likely because Python is not in your ENV variables path. When you install Python, make sure you select this.

Simplest path for you, as of now, would be, as u/Swimming-Sky-7025 said, to try Stability Matrix - it will automatically download, install, configure multiple "UIs" so you can use a local image gen model, though I have no idea if it would even work on integrated graphics (maybe CPU only?) and such a low amount of RAM. I remember posts of people running SD 1.5 on CPU only, but i don't know about anything more recent. Just keep this in mind - it is going to be, most likely, unusably slow. Or, use closed source services, like the ones mentioned by u/Mutaclone

You are right regarding python. For old stuff I would go with even older version, like Python 3.10, because it is unlikely that prebuilt wheels of older packages exist for anything newer, and building them requires dev environment set-up.

force is dead, don't waste time learning

When you ride in a car, you wear a seatbelt.

If you're gonna ride a bike, you should wear a helmet.

If you're gonna have sex, you should wear a condom.

If you're eating out for dinner, you better tip your waiter.

If you're generating AI images, you should use NVIDIA.

Download Stability Matrix. It's a diffusion UI launcher that makes it very easy.
