That's a great explanation and guide, thank you very much. I've never been able to figure out how to check my downloads, this was perfect.

So cool, Thanks!

my computer says 'get-filehash'
is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

[@mikerodrick5354]

Make sure you are using PowerShell and not a command prompt. Get-FileHash is a PowerShell cmdlet.

If I may jump in, verification is one thing (and thanks for this upload), but authentication can be exceptionally difficult. Have you prepared a video tutorial on authentification of files? Thanks.

[@crowlsyong]

I think the files are gone (the code at 6:20)
Google drive in the description says file is deleted.

best dang video!

[@ghidraa9340]

What happens when the checksum value that you're verifying is the Modified checksum value and now you're screwed.

[@socialnavigator2282]

What programming language or script was used to compare the checksum?

[@ITProTv]

Mike used PowerShell and the script can be downloaded here: drive.google.com/file/d/1Xc8qLEHoHwJ_5UdE6DK3wmVaPBPVIxUT/view?usp=sharing

Use "quotes" outside the file path
