The Command Prompt in Windows provides access to more than 280 commands. These commands are used to perform certain operating system tasks from the command line interpreter instead of the graphical Windows interface we use most of the time.
For example, Command Prompt commands allow you to copy data to different folders, format an entire disk, back up files, send messages to other computers, restart your computer , and more . There are also some Command Prompt tips and tricks to take advantage of some of these commands.
It is important to note that the commands in Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP are called CMD commands or Command Prompt commands and the commands in Windows 98/95 and MS-DOS are called DOS commands . We've included all of them in this list to help show the command changes for different operating systems.
Below is the complete list of Command Prompt commands, often called CMD commands (sometimes incorrectly called Command Prompt codes), available from Command Prompt in Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP symbol obtained.
