The command prompt doesn’t recognize the touch command. I don’t know that there is really an equivalent to the touch command for Windows, but you could try the following syntax:
type nul > your_file.txt
I googled that, but haven’t tested it myself (so I can’t speak for it’s accuracy). 🤷🏾♂️
If all else fails, you could just right click with your mouse and create a file that way.
