What is Windows Terminal?
Windows Terminal is the integrated Microsoft Command Line replacement and Windows PowerShell, enabling the execution of more powerful Windows management commands and resources than the user interface would have been able to use. The new Windows Terminal puts these resources together instead of going from tool to tool. Windows bash scripts can be executed, Azure virtual machines are linked and the Linux Terminal Windows Subsystem can be opened in one single window.
Here’s the way how to install Terminal on New Windows 10:
Firstly, go to the Microsoft Store Website’s Windows Terminal (Preview) and then press Get. To start you’ll be able to open the Microsoft Store if you’re using Chrome, by pressing the Microsoft Store Access icon. Additionally, check for the Microsoft Store software specifically for it.
Secondly, click “Get” to link the app to your Microsoft account, after that install to begin the installation.
Once installed, click Launch, or access it from your Windows Start menu.
Now you can start to use the Terminal on New Windows 10. You just open a new PowerShell on window and then click the plus button to the right of your last tab. To open other types of tabs, click the downward arrow button and select one from the list of available options.
The New Windows Terminal application interface is extremely simple. It will look a lot like a Windows standard PowerShell window by default. The explanation is that the first window that opens is, by necessity, a PowerShell terminal. You can use Windows PowerShell to perform system management functions. With the benefit of opening a single window with multiple PowerShell tabs.
This is the real advantage of New Windows Terminal for moving from various apps to terminal shells within the same window. In a second, it tab you can open an old school command line as well as an Azure Cloud Shell to access the virtual machines from Microsoft Azure remotely.
