Windows 11 and 10 already come with curl
https://curl.se/windows/microsoft.html
To run curl from Command Prompt, PowerShell, and PowerShell SE, type
curl -v uri
where
-v is verbose mode and uri is the one of interest.
Try it today with
uri = google.com
uri = yahoo.com
or use it on other sites, serps, …
If CMD gives you less detailed results, use PS or PS SE
Try also with/without a scheme and www. alias, with rss feeds, uri videos, etc
If you run old versions of PowerShell read about alias drawbacks

I use Windows 11 without worrying about it.
UPDATES
- The -v flag can be omitted with PS or PS SE.
- The following are all aliases in PS and PS SE: curl, wget, and iwr
- Examples: In PS or PS SE, try: curl yahoo.com, wget yahoo.com, or iwr yahoo.com
