There is a man, with a background of working with the Linux system, whenever he acquires help on something from Linux he goes for the command “Man”,unfortunately the person got his job shift and now with his own workplace he has to work with windows-based machines, which make him pondering all the time thathow to tackle the live scenarios. But my friend you don’tneed to shift learn PowerShell way to get help that is

“Get-Help”, because “Man” will work for you on the windows-based machine. So, PowerShell work with all the Native Commands of the platforms it support.
