But at other times, I actually vary my answer according to what I perceive to be the level of expertise of the questioner. For example, often people will come to me after I have spoken at a conference such as the IT Pro Camp in Jacksonville where Teresa and I will be speaking this Saturday.

The most important navigation actions you need to know for PowerShell is how to get into it and how to get out again. The easiest way to access the PowerShell environment is to type PowerShell in the search field of your taskbar. The proper way to close the window is to type exit and the command prompt. The standard navigation commands of the Command Prompt work in PowerShell so use cd to change directory.
Enter a drive letter followed by a colon eg. D: to switch to another drive. PowerShell is an advancement on Command Prompt because its shell scripting capabilities include better programming constructs than those available for batch jobs in Command Prompt.
All of the Command Prompt commands are available in PowerShell but then PowerShell has extra commands and utilities, called cmdlets. Bash scripting is a Unix shell script. As Linux is an adaptation of Unix, a shell script written for Linux is often called a Bash script. There are a lot of online tutorials on how to create a Bash script. In order to avoid confusion, try not to refer to a PowerShell script as a Bash script. To stick with Command Prompt, go to the Start menu and click on Settings.
In the Settings menu, select Personalization. Select Taskbar in the left-hand menu of the Personalization Settings Window. Set that to Off. Click OK to run as Administrator. Type powershell into the Taskbar search field. Select Run as Administrator from the list of options in the right panel of the results list. Open the Command Prompt, type powershell, and hit Enter. Type start-process PowerShell -verb runas and press Enter.
If your PowerShell command requires a value in quotes, use single quotes in there instead of double-quotes. The surrounding quotes in the execution example here should remain as double-quotes.

Cmdlets can be written in any compiled. NET language or in the PowerShell scripting language itself. PowerShell uses a Verb-Noun name pair to name cmdlets. For example, the Get-Command cmdlet included in PowerShell is used to get all the cmdlets that are registered in the command shell.
