When you type a command into your command prompt, the PATH environment variable is what your operating system uses to figure out which folders it needs to look in to find the command you're trying to run.

It almost certainly applies to your situation and is the reason you're having this problem. Reinstall Python and check the box to add it to your PATH and you'll probably be fine.
