I have QGIS as a part of OSGEO on Windows.

I am sorry I cannot help with Windows but I had the same problem on MacOS and perhaps the solution is similar.

QGIS seems to have its own python installation, so I used pip to install paramiko like this:

cd /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin
./pip3 install -t /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Resources/python/site-packages paramiko
