This tip should work in Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>When you open a Run command by pressing the Windows Key + R, you can open a program or a web page. You can open folders and run\u00a0 Windows commands. The Run Command not just for geeky computer gurus, it&#8217;s for everyone. We&#8217;re going to prove it to you!<\/p>\n<p>Use the Win+R keyboard shortcut to open the Run dialog box.
