Visual Studio looks for installed global environments using the registry (following [PEP 514](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0514/)), along with virtual environments and conda environments (see [Types of environments](#types-of-environments)). If you don't see an expected environment in the list, see [Manually identify an existing environment](#manually-identify-an-existing-environment).

When you select an environment in the list, Visual Studio displays various properties and commands for that environment on the **Overview** tab. For example, you can see in the image above that the interpreter's location is *C:\Python36-32*. Use the drop-down list below the list of environments to switch to different tabs such as **Packages**, and **IntelliSense**. These tabs are described in [Python Environments window tab reference](python-environments-window-tab-reference.md).

When you select an environment in the list, Visual Studio displays various properties and commands for that environment on the **Overview** tab. For example, you can see in the image above that the interpreter's location is *C:\Python36-32*. The four commands at the bottom of the **Overview** tab each open a command prompt with the interpreter running. For more information, see [Python Environments window tab reference - Overview](python-environments-window-tab-reference.md#overview-tab).

Selecting an environment does not change its relation to any projects. The default environment, shown in boldface in the list, is the one that Visual Studio uses for any new projects. To use a different environment with new projects, use the **Make this the default environment for new projects** command. Within the context of a project you can always select a specific environment. For more information, see [Select an environment for a project](selecting-a-python-environment-for-a-project.md).
