You are working in a Command Prompt window on a Windows 10 workstation when your supervisor asks you to create a folder named Reports inside the current working directory. Which single-word command should you type before the folder name to accomplish this task?
md - Correct. The md (make directory) command creates a new directory at the specified path. Windows also accepts the synonym mkdir.
cd - Changes the current directory but does not create one.
dir - Lists the contents of a directory; it cannot create folders.
rmdir - Removes (deletes) an existing directory.
