I have Python 3.7 installed and it's on my PATH. (Windows 10) When I login to Python from Command line it logs in to Python and I have access to all my libraries. When I use Pycharm however, each project generates its own Python.exe which requires installing all the required packages. In the project interpretor, I can see the Python instances of different projects but not my actually installed Python 3.7. Question is: How can I direct my Pycharm project to my own installed Python with all packages installed?

That is, in fact, a good thing. You don't want to litter your system-wide python with libs from different projects.
What you can do, though, is setup virtual environments to your specific needs. Go to your project settings and type venv in the search field. You will be presented with a screen where you can select which interpreter to use for this particular project.
