Windows PowerShell Tutorial - How to Show disks Using a Powershell Command?
Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language built by Microsoft to help users automate tasks, manage Windows, and control system settings more efficiently than using the mouse and GUI alone.
In simple terms
Think of PowerShell as:
Command Prompt on steroids 💪
but smarter, more powerful, and script-based.
What PowerShell is used for
PowerShell allows you to:
✅ Manage files and folders
✅ Control Windows settings
✅ Manage users and permissions
✅ Install, update, and configure software
✅ Automate repetitive tasks
✅ Manage servers, networks, and cloud services (like Azure)
How it works
===========
Unlike the old Command Prompt, PowerShell works with objects, not just text.
Example:
Command Prompt → outputs plain text
PowerShell → outputs structured objects (with properties and methods)
This makes it much easier to filter, sort, and manipulate data.
Example PowerShell commands
Get-Date
👉 Shows the current date and time
Get-Process
👉 Lists all running processes
Get-Service
👉 Lists Windows services
