Yes - however you nedd to be careful with your path variable. You can tell the installer to automatically add python to the path variable while installing, when reinstalling windows you will have to set it manually. How do I add Python to the Windows PATH?

Yes, It is possible. Note the path in which the python binary file exists.

I installed mine in D drive. Python binary file under D:\Python

Now type sysdm.cpl in Run window. And the System Properties window opens up. Open Advanced tab and select Environment Variables.

In the System variable section, select "Path" and give Edit option.

Now click New and type "D:\Python\"(for my example) in the new row. Click okay.

This sets the python's path and now close all cmd sessions and in a new command prompt enter Python and the session opens.
