Your question doesn't exactly make sense, but note this:

Windows installers are not built for "security bugfix" releases. The 
last python.org release in the 3.10 series that had installers was 
3.10.11; subsequent 3.10 releases only consist of the source code (this 
pattern repeats for all Python release series, once they hit a certain 
age the move to source-only security bugfix releases, normally when 
there are two newer Python series available which would contain those 
fixes already).

You have to download the source release and build it yourself if you 
need this.  You can't install a source release using an installer for a 
different version.

There are some instructions here:

https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building/index.html

but note that they're oriented to building from a revision control 
checkout, not from a source release bundle.

There should be some instructions somewhere on the internet if 
buildi-for-windows-from-a-source-release really is exactly what you need.
