how to change directory using Windows command line

I’m using cmd.exe (C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe) and I have to change my current directory to “D:\temp” i.e. temp folder in the D drive.

When I try to cd nothing happens.

C:\> cd D:\temp

C:\>

I don’t know what else to do here. Even pressing tab key does not give any hints. I have never got the reason to use cmd.exe until now when I have to. I mostly use Linux for development.

If this helps: I’m on a remote login to another computer and D:\temp in on the remote machine, but so is C:\ where I have opened the terminal (cmd.exe).
