Windows 10: Open Powershell - how to turn it on

In Windows, in addition to the normal user interface, you can also act directly in a terminal using commands. However, with Windows, there are two different consoles in which commands are executed. The lesser known Powershell is not familiar to many users, yet just as important to be able to use all the functions.

Windows 10: Powershell - this is how to open it

Similar to the usual console, the Powershell can be opened quite easily. Note, however, that Powershell commands do not have to work in the usual console.

1. To open Powershell, you must first switch to the search function by pressing the [Windows] key.
2. There, enter "Powershell" in the text field and wait until the search returns a result.
3. Now select the entry with a right-click and select the option "Start as administrator" from the context menu.
4. The reason for this is that commands are executed within the Powershell, which intervene deeply in the operating system.
5. Ohne die ausreichenden Rechte werden Sie keine Befehle ausführen können.
