How do I execute "Test-ComputerSecureChannel"

Question

Device: Surface - Windows 8 Pro

OS: Windows 11

Note: I am not logged into the computer (that is kind of the problem). I am running command prompt from the Windows recovery environment which only gives me access to x:\

I believe i am trying to run a Powershell command from Command Prompt.

Question: What syntax do use to run a the Powershell command "Test-ComputerSecureChannel" from X:\Windows\System32?

Do I need to execute from X:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell>?

This is all in effort to solve the "trust-relationship-between-this-workstation-and-primary-domain-failed" message.
