I read this answer but it doesn't work for Windows PowerShell. How to change the drive?
EDIT:
Please ignore this question. I was trying to change the drive from C: to D:. The reason it wasn't working was that there was no D: on my computer. A really silly mistake.

PowerShell will resolve full paths just fine with CD.
Where in DOS you have to /d for drive changing:
cd /d H:\Folder
PowerShell you can just type the full path:
cd H:\Folder

It’s the same as the DOS shell “cd dir”

cd dir won't work if dir is on another drive. – Matthias Braun – 2018-10-11T09:52:56.593
Use the /d switch – Ben Lavender – 2018-10-14T20:25:57.723
Sure, that's what I gathered from Austin T French's answer. But having to add /d is not obvious at all (to me at least), meaning that information should be part of the answer. Put another way: cd dir is not the same as cd /d dir – Matthias Braun – 2018-10-15T09:16:57.560
1@Excellll It's not, the question you linked to talks about the native shell (cmd), not PowerShell. – Ohad Schneider – 2016-02-15T14:17:03.307
BTW, You should save as a *.ps1 file to run in PowerShell... i.e.
