    I can hit tab and get the result I'm looking for, but it won't accept when I type the "M" in my own name. I'm new to this and am thoroughly confused what the underlying issue is here. Any and all information would be appreciated, thanks!....

    You have to use quotes.

    Before trying anything else please learn basic Windows and PowerShell.

    You cannot learn any technology at a technical level by asking questions in a forum.  You must do the homework and actually study the technology.

    I'm actually taking the Google IT course and was following along with the video. I was unaware why it worked when the video instructor did it, but not when I was trying it. Whoops. Thanks for the link.
