When trying to do the labs in my Windows machine, some commands such as the host one are not recognized as an internal or external command. Is there some plug-in/extension that could be used to do the labs. The VM works, however everything runs slower there so I was wondering if there is an alternative.
Hey! There's no plug-in or extension. However, each command should normally have an equivalent on Windows. E.g., "host" corresponds to "nslookup." "traceroute" corresponds to "tracert." "ifconfig" corresponds to "ipconfig." In general, if you google "How do I do x on Windows?" you will most likely get your answer. I just don't know 100% if the latest Windows support all the commands, but I expect they do. Hope this helps.
