conda create --name doc-env python==3.7 but the version given with python -V is 3.11

I try to install python 3.7 with conda but every time I seem to get python 3.11. Then I tried to explicitly specify the channel with conda create --name doc-env python=3.10 -c conda-forge I noticed that I don’t see the environment in the left parenthesis. How can I install my version of python in my environment? Other than Anaconda, I don’t have Python on my machine. I did all that through Visual Studio Code on my Windows 11.
