The “Directory” and “Folder” are the same and creating it in Microsoft Windows would be easy. It can be done in two ways: using the command prompt and via GUI using the Windows Explorer. For me, I can create a folder in any of those methods.

Creating a directory using the command prompt is, I think, for advanced users only who are knowledgeable in DOS environment and knows how to navigate well between folders. This method requires a lot of typing and accuracy because every step has to be executed with a command unlike when you’re using a GUI you just have to click and click.

For beginners, the recommended method is using the Windows Explorer. Click “Start”, “All Programs”, “Accessories” then select “Windows Explorer”. In Windows Explorer, select a drive then right-click an empty spot, point to “New” and then select “Folder”. Type the name of the new folder and hit Enter.
