Replacing awscli v1 with awscli v2 on Windows 10

Question

I have awscli version 1.27.115 using pip.  My python version is 3.9.  I want to update it to awscli v2.  All the links on AWS mention to remove it from Add / Remove panel and then install awscliv2 but I don't see AWS Command Line in the Control Panel Add / Remove programs.  How can I proceed?  Also,  I can't use msi to install awscliv2 as msi requires admin access and I don't have admin on the machine.   I will have to use pip to do so.

One other piece of information - I have awscli version installed in 2 places

I have python in two places - H:\Software\Python3.9 - version 3.9.7

C:\Software\Python3.9 - version 3.9.13 and C:\Utilities\venvs39\gluevenv is virtual env from C:\Software\Python3.9

H:\Software\Python3.9>where aws

C:\Utilities\venvs39\gluevenv\Scripts\aws
C:\Utilities\venvs39\gluevenv\Scripts\aws.cmd

H:\Software\Python3.9\Scripts\aws
H:\Software\Python3.9\Scripts\aws.cmd

I think I will have to remove the awscliv1 from both the places.

Can I remove awscli v1 using pip uninstall and then install v2 again using pip install?

Thanks
