Edit text files from Command Prompt & PowerShell on Win-10 & 11 — using MS Edit


"This editor is not brand-new to the operating system. In older versions, Microsoft included the MS-DOS Editor for text editing. However, Microsoft Edit is an open-source, more modern alternative with 64-bit architecture support. In addition, it's not only available for Windows 11 (and 10), but it's also available for Linux."

"To install Microsoft Edit on Windows 11, use these steps:
  1. Open Start.
  2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and choose the Run as administrator option.
  3. Type the following winget command to install Microsoft Edit and press Enter:
winget install --id Microsoft.Edit    "
