This is a limitation of Windows: you can't replace the executable that
you're currently running.  To work around this, do "python -m pip
install --upgrade pip" instead.  If you have the Python Launcher for
Windows installed (included with Python 3.3+), you can use in place of
'python' in that command, and be very sure about which python's pip is
being upgraded.
