Command Line The command-line interface retains its place as a go-to tool

for techs. Windows 8/8.1 offer several ways to access it:

• Click the down arrow on the lower right of the Start screen and scroll

all the way to the right in the list of Apps. In the Windows System

category, click Command Prompt to open the utility. You can also start

typing command prompt in the Search field in the Apps list.

Command Prompt will quickly appear as the best option to select.

• Right-click the Start button (or press WINDOWS LOGO KEY + X) and select

Command Prompt from the context menu to open the command-line

interface.

• In the Start screen, start typing cmd or command prompt and

Command Prompt will appear in the Search charm. Click on it to open

it.

Windows 10

Windows 10 keeps the Control Panel and command-line interfaces seen in

earlier versions of Windows, but focuses on an expanded Settings app for

day-to-day administration. A vastly more powerful command-line interface,

called Windows PowerShell, is also available, offering a much deeper set of

command-line utilities as well as support for power scripting. Check out

Chapter 15 to see more on PowerShell (see Figure 2-50).
