Do you want to learn how to use the System Console? These commands can help you in your first steps

"

It must be recognized that this is not an option that most users have access to. They don&39;t do it in Windows or Mac. We&39;re talking about the System Console in Windows or the Terminal in macOS. Access to operating system functions that requires specific knowledge."

"

And it is that to interact with the System Console we are not going to use the mouse and instead we will have to pull the keyboard and commands. A series of instructions that may be unknown to many, so here we are going to review the most important ones, either if you want to start testing the possibilities of this form of interaction with the PC or if you have forgotten them."

"

Once inside Windows we access the System Console and for this we must go to the Start Menu and in the dialog box we write the CMD command. A window opens with a warning about whether we want to enter Normal Mode or Administrator Mode"
