Navigating Folders (Directories) with PowerShell

In this video I'll demonstrate how to navigate directories using PowerShell.

Topics covered:

Copy folder paths from File Explorer
Get the current location with Get-Location ( alias pwd )
Change current location w/ Set-Location ( alias cd )
Using relative paths ( .. and .\ )
Using the Location Stack with Push-Location and Pop-Location ( alias pushd / popd )

Good.Also you can 'cd +' and 'cd -' to naviagate through location history of current session. Also you can Ctrl+R, type 'cd' and keep pressing Ctrl+R to cycle back through previous invoked commands with 'cd' in it

I am running PS Version 5.1.22621.963 and I tried to copy and paste the path from the address bar. I get this error message:
x86 : The term 'x86' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:19
+ C:\Program Files (x86)
+ ~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (x86:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I am confused as to why simple path commands such as this one and other commands do not work with Powershell as they are said to do. Do the versions change the commands that much to where they do not work? This issue that I am experiencing really makes it frustrating to learn.

Hi! Why is it that I follow the instructions and I do not get results? I do not even see the option "copy as path" I've watched about 6 videos on how to copy files using PowerShell, and to this day NOT EVEN ONE FILE COPIED can you help? Any recommendations? Thank you!

I wanted to also say that I do understand that the reason is shown in the error message but it does not make any sense on why Powershell flagged this situation as an error as it is supposed to be a proper command function.

dude after three hours of search for the simplest command you could help! Disgusting how incompetent the worlds is in displaying information

Thank you, I cannot make ANY sense of the written tutorials. They don't explain anything in lay terms for beginners, it's way too confusing.
