Errors during the installation of tensorflow - tensorflow

Question

I am not able update(upgrade) my tensorflow-gpu and am being shown various error. Even after trying to google every single error of them, one or the other conflicted to result in throwing errors in red fonts.
Can you please help me installing (upgrading) tensorflow-gpu error free by having this thread replied with the commands I'm supposed to be passing.
Here's the list of errors I see

Also I see an error on trying to import tensorflow within a shell command.
The error is as follows:

Thanks in advance.

Try using this:
pip install --user some_pkg
