Anaconda/conda/python/Windows: how to start and activate a conda environment?

I have Python 3.5 (3.5.6) installed via Anaconda, and now I’d like to be able to use Python 3.7, keeping 3.5 as the default (the one python "insert script name" would run on the command line). I commanded the computer to activate it, but it isn’t working.

Answer

In the Start menu you have to open “Anaconda Prompt” which is different from the Normal “Command Prompt”. Your environment gets activated from there. And then execute activate <env-name>
