28,558 PointsYou are not meant to type the command in the Windows search bar, it is a command that has to be run in a terminal. On Windows there are two terminal programs CMD and PowerShell, either should work in this case.
You should be able to launch those programs by simply typing in cmd
or powershell
into the windows search bar and hitting enter. Then once the terminal window appears type the java -version
command into that window.
If you still do not get back a response that provides you with information on what Java version you have installed then you should go back and try to install it again following these instructions.
