pygame not installing correctly on Windows cmd

Question

I m trying to download pygame on Windows 10 cmd but the same error keeps ocurring. I ve already tried to downgrade pip and install pygame with a previous version, but it won t let me. I ve also tied to install setup tools, following this post: https://appuals.com/command-python-setup-py-egg_info/#:~:text=Fix%3A%20'Command%20%E2%80%9Cpython%20setup,code%201'%20When%20Installing%20Python&text=The%20error%20code%201%20is,to%20be%20installed%20or%20updated.

This is the error i get when running pip install pygame

Collecting pygame
