The Command Prompt in Windows 7 provides access to more than 230 commands. The commands are used to automate processes, create batch files, and perform troubleshooting and diagnostic tasks.

Availability of Command Prompt Commands

Not all Command Prompt commands stick around through new Windows releases. While all the commands listed in the table below apply to Windows 7, some might not be available in Windows 11, or Windows 8, etc.

As of January 2020, Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows 7. We recommend upgrading to Windows 10 or Windows 11 to continue receiving security updates and technical support.

If you’re interested in why a command was removed or when it was first available, you can see every command from MS-DOS through Windows 11 or skip the details and see it all in our one-page table: Command Availability Across Microsoft Operating Systems.

Many of these commands are similar to classic MS-DOS commands. However, the Command Prompt is not MS-DOS, and the commands are not MS-DOS commands

If you’re interested, we also keep operating specific lists, which you can find in these Windows 8 commands, Windows XP commands, and MS-DOS commands documents.
