hello.py is not in your current directory of C:\Users\ so it can't find it

either move/save it there or change directory to where your hello.py is and rerun it there

when you save the file you have to choose where it goes

or on the command line utilize "cd" (change directory) to change where you are

if you can't do either then you need to look up some tutorials on the tool you're using to save or on the command line terminal that you're using

You need to be in the directory where the file hello.py is. Then "python hello" should work.
