How to upload the terminal on windows 10

[sylas]

Windows +R proposes to me cmd.exe. but when I click on OK, I have C:\Users\sylvain   which is no good. I still have not uploaded cmd.exe. How is it possible he proposes me cmd.exe  ??

I have C:\Users\sylvain

If you are seeing this in a window with a black background, you are in the 'cmd' terminal. It is telling you which directory you are currently in, in this case, the C:\Users\sylvain directory. If you type dir you will see a listing of all the files and directories under that location. If you type python at the prompt, you will be taken to the python terminal (provided you have Python set up correctly).

You're already in the terminal, then.  That line is just letting you know what folder you're in.  It should never say C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe, since that's not a folder (and it'd be redundant, as you're already running cmd anyway).

but  none of them accepts ls or locate file

Those are linux commands, not windows commands.  They don't work in cmd, because they're not supposed to.
That said, ls DOES work in powershell, because it's so common that they implemented it for people who don't normally use windows.

Another big trouble since I am on Windows: I cannot find  the url where to post new threads.

I don't understand, just hit the button that says "post thread" in any of the forums?  You shouldn't use a url directly, as each sub-forum has it's own url.

I learnt with google that it is possible to put linux console on the windows engine, but as I am not experienced with windows I don't try, because I am afraid to break the OS.

Cygwin is an emulator. It's great, but it won't get you apt-get (relating this to your other thread(s)). It also shouldn't "break" Windows, although you might do something wrong if you aren't mindful of what you're doing.

Well, you could use  qemu or virtualbox and run a virtual linux system within windows, but why?  You gain very little, at the cost of system resources.

Better to run dual boot.
