There is a way of making changing command prompt directories slightly easier

Firstly

Right click on Taskbar - Taskbar Settings

Replace command prompt with Windows Powershell in the menu
when I right-click the start button 
or Press Windows logo key + X

set to off

i.e.  keep using Command prompt
(powershell probably doesn't support all the command line commands)

To change directories

Browse in my computer or Windows file Manager 
(windows Logo key + E  (ignore the plus +) will open File Manager
aka Windows Explorer)

Browse to the Directory (folder) you want to change to (open)
and click on it once to highlight the name only
(assuming here you have Double click to open a folder Set
in File Manager - View - Options)

Press SHIFT Key + Right Click on Folder Name
(ignore the plus +)

on the right Click extended context List

Select - Open Power shell Window here (actually now a command prompt
if you have done the taskbar settings outlined previously)

Should leave you in a command line at that folder location

CD..  goes up a directory level (CD change directory)
dir    displays directory contents

The manual way of doing this is

open a command prompt

Start - Run - Type Cmd

In the command prompt

Type CD\

go back to the root (very top)  of the C: drive

CD C:\pathname

for example CD "C:\Sid Meier's Pirates!\assets"

if you have any spaces in the pathname use quotes ""

for example "C:\my folder which has spaces in the pathname"

Command prompt uses the old MSDOS naming format 8.3   
8 characters then Dot and 3 char extension

Use quotes for any long filenames (more than 8 Characters)
or long pathnames or for anything with spaces

I typically create a Desktop Shortcut say named Cmd

Target
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Start in
C:\WINDOWS\system32

make things slightly easier to use a command prompt
by just clicking on the shortcut icon

Windows XP used to have a useful Microsoft Powertoy Utility
Open command prompt here which was dropped for Win 7-10

You have to edit the registry to do this now for Win10

What I outlined previously is apparently the only way to do something similar without editing your registry
