The commands that I use in the video:
c: or d: or e: or z: or other letter with : - to change between different drives and USB drive
dir to check the content of the folder (what files and folders are in it)
dir /s -- to check the size of the folder you are in
cd "name of the folder" -- to open a folder
cd.. - to leave the folder(go one level up)
To copy a file:
xcopy "name of the file" "full address of the destination where you want to copy it"
To copy a folder with subfolders:
xcopy "Name of the folder" "full address of the destination where you want to copy it" /s /i
