Windows 10 Powershell tree command, how to show files

Question

How do I list folders and files using the PowerShell tree command? Is it possible to color format the output for distinct files and folders?

Solution 1

Solution 2

TREE Drive:\path /F

If command prompt or power shell are not recognizing 'tree', then:

Then open a new power shell and give the above command. EX:
