Your windows computer using the DOS operating system. Since you will be running Anaconda and Thonny on your laptop you need to know a few DOS commands to instal and update your programs. When working on the Raspberry Pi you will be using Debian, which is a form of Linux, and those command line options are in other sections of this appendice.
To start the command prompt type "Command Prompt" in the Start Menu, or use the keyboard shortcult "Windows key + R" and then type cmdd

To see what is installed type:
conda list
To update conda type:
conda update anaconda (if that does not work try) conda update -n base conda
