 ## What is a Virtual Environment?
 
 A virtual environment is an isolated Python environment that allows you to install packages for a specific project without affecting your system's global Python installation. This helps avoid package conflicts between different projects.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-- Python 3.9, 3.10, or 3.11 installed on your system
+- Python 3.10, or 3.11 installed on your system
 - Basic knowledge of command line operations
