Creating multiple folders and subfolders manually can be time-consuming. To ease the folder creation process, Windows provides you few utilities. For example, you can use both Command Prompt and PowerShell to create multiple folders.

Not only that, but you can even select the directory before creating multiple folders. If you’re interested in creating multiple folders at once, here’s what you need to do.
