Practice PowerShell in a disposable folder as a standard user. The objective is not memorizing aliases. It is learning to inspect location, predict effects, run one operation, and verify the result.

Create PowerShell-Practice in your Documents folder and add two non-sensitive text files. Confirm the path before every change.

1. Navigate

Get-Location
Set-Location -Path "$HOME\Documents\PowerShell-Practice"

Verify with Get-Location. A relative path depends on the current location.

2. List

Get-ChildItem
Get-ChildItem -File

Inspect names and item types before copying or moving anything.

Windows Terminal and PowerShell for Complete Beginners

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Windows Terminal is a terminal application. PowerShell is a shell and scripting environment that can run inside it. A Terminal profile selects a shell, starting directory, appearance, and related settings. Keeping these roles separate makes errors easier to understand.

Read the window before typing

Open Windows Terminal from a standard user account. The tab title and profile menu identify the active profile. Microsoft documents that Terminal can generate profiles for installed PowerShell and WSL shells in its dynamic-profile guidance. Available profiles depend on installed software and organization policy.
