To inspect the IP address of a Windows operating system PC, which command should you use?

Using the command "ipconfig" in a Windows operating system is the correct way to inspect the IP address of the PC. When you enter this command in the Command Prompt, it displays all IP address configuration details for the network connections on the device. This includes the IPv4 address, subnet mask, default gateway, and information about other network interfaces.

The other commands serve different functions and are not appropriate for viewing IP address configurations on Windows. "Lspci" is used on Linux systems to list all PCI devices connected to the computer. "IFconfig" is similar to "ipconfig" but is used in UNIX/Linux-based systems to configure or display network interface parameters. "Tracert" is a command that tracks the route taken by packets to reach a destination IP address but does not provide direct information about the local machine's IP configuration.
