    Yes, you can. But a lot of Windows users dont even know what powershell is.

    And personally i think you shouldnt have to jump through hoops for what i consider basic functionality. They also make it near impossible to install Windows 11 new without having to resort to all kind of tricks to create a local account. Its a shitshow.

    In my humble opinion :)

        Isn’t the point of an OS so that users don’t have to use cmd prompt? That’s why we aren’t using DOS anymore.
