Hello, in standard python new packages (like folium) are installed using the `pip` package manager. There is also a concept called virtual environments that lets you create multiple environments with different installed packages. If you installed Spyder using the stand-alone windows installer, spyder will be using the standard python distribution, but not the main or default virtual environment. This can be changed. As explained in the Spyder FAQ <http://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html#using-existing-environment>. If you installed Spyder using a anaconda distribution of python, you should be able to install packages using the graphical anaconda navigator (might not be the right name).
Since I am not using Windows, I am not sure how to use pip there but I looked in the Internet: I found a (kids) friendly guide on raspberrypi.org which normally provides well working tutorials. This one is about `pip` on Windows. <https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/using-pip-on-windows/3> If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
