How can the output of a command be redirected to a file instead of being displayed on the computer's screen?

The output of a command be redirected to a file instead of being displayed on the computer's screen by typing  the > character followed by the file name at the end of the command.
All the information that's displayed in the Command Prompt after running a command can instead be saved to a file which you can open in Windows to reference later or manipulate however you like.
