How to enable .Net Framework 3.5 (& 2.0) on Windows 10.

Hi, I am trying to run a program that requires .Net Framework 2.0. I downloaded 3.5 from the site, tried installing it without much luck. I realized I could simply go in and turn the .Net Framework 3.5 and 2.0 under Windows Features, although when I turned it on and restarted my computer, the program I'm trying to use still won't run because I'm still missing .Net Framework 2.0. I tried using the troubleshooting guides on here and also tried going through Command Prompt and Windows Powershell, although every time I enter in the command it doesn't seem to recognize the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet, I've also tried get Get-WindowsFeature without luck.

I'm not sure what to do at this point, especially since it appears as though I've already enabled .Net Framework 3.5 through the Control Panel and I cannot reinstall it. Is there a more thorough step by step guide you could point me to to help me in either reinstalling .Net Framework 3.5 or any other suggestions as to what my issue may be?
