A core feature of Visual Studio that allows developers to inspect, analyze, and troubleshoot code during execution.
My solution is to install Windows 2000 in VMWare.

So I've been wanting to learn Assembly for awhile, and I want to enter DEBUG into the command prompt on a Windows 10. However, once I type in DEBUG, it prints out "'DEBUG' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." I don't know if I need to run this as an administrator, but nothing's working. How do I use DEBUG in cmd.exe or DOS on a 64-bit system?
EDIT: So I found out that the 'debug' command isn't supported on Windows 10. Is there any way to use Debug on Windows 10, or do I need to use something else?

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Perhaps, you can have a try
clcommand to compile/build the C++ related(maybe embed assembly-language) files/programs and usedevenv /DebugExecommand(inDeveloper Command Prompt for VS XXXX) to debug it.Syntax of “/DebugExe”
Description of “/DebugExe” command line switch
(Syntax of “cl” command line, and Compiler options)

It is used for debugging Windows drivers but it can be used for user-mode applications too. Download from Download Debugging Tools for Windows. I have not used it but it is the most likely tool provided by Microsoft. Otherwise you can search for non-Microsoft solutions.
The best solution however is to use Visual Studio. Compiler intrinsics and assembly language describes use of assembler in C++ but it also has resources for straight assembler programming. VS has a sophisticated debugger that I assume works great for straight assembler too.
