Is There a Windows Terminal in the Browser?

Yes — you can practice Command Prompt online in your browser with Windows CLI. Most people searching for a “Windows terminal online” mean CMD (the classic C:\> shell), not the Windows Terminal app you install on a PC.

Windows Terminal is the modern app that hosts CMD, PowerShell, and other shells. CMD is one shell inside that window. Here you practice CMD itself — type commands, see output, get checked — like our other command guides, but in a full learning sandbox.

Try the command

Run dir to see the folder contents.

Build the command

dir

[path]Folder to list.

Terminal

C:\Users\Student>dir

Directory of C:\Users\Student 04/11/2026 08:20 AM <DIR> . 04/11/2026 08:20 AM <DIR> .. 04/11/2026 08:20 AM <DIR> Documents 04/11/2026 08:20 AM <DIR> Downloads 04/11/2026 08:20 AM <DIR> Desktop 04/11/2026 08:20 AM 95 welcome.txt 04/11/2026 08:20 AM <DIR> Reports 04/11/2026 08:20 AM <DIR> Archive 04/11/2026 08:20 AM <DIR> Projects 1 File(s) 6 Dir(s)

Real-World Examples

After dir, step into the folder:

Terminal

C:\Users\Student>cd Documents

On a real PC you would open Windows Terminal, pick Command Prompt, then run the same commands:

Terminal

C:\Users\Student>echo Hello from CMD
