I remembered that I used a tool called as
where
to find locations for any executable programs like this in a console:Now I cannot find this tool. Not sure if Windows has a build-in tool to do that search?

I think you may be thinking of the which command in Linux.
I'm not aware of an equivalent tool in Windows.
Clonezilla SE uses the multicast to clone multiple disk.Clonezilla cloning fast because it only clone the used part, but it keeping the same size ofdisk or partition so that it can create a real clone.Tips: All versions of Clonezilla live support machine with legacy BIOS. Clonezilla bootable iso download. At the first step, just click Enter.Then, you can follow the guide to select language; choose the way your keyboard is laid out.Then, you can start to use Clonezilla to do clone for your Windows operating system includingWindows 7.However, cloning with Clonezilla need a lot of steps which makes users confused and there aresome limitations. How to Use Clonezilla for Windows 7?To use Clonezilla, you need to download Clonezilla Live first, and burn it to CD, then boot thecomputer from the CD. For example, the destination partition must be equal or larger than the sourceone. If yourmachine comes with UEFI secure boot enabled, you have to use other alternative to Clonezillalive.
EDIT: I just remembered that there's a package called Unix Utils for Windows that would provide this functionality for you.

According to the StackOverflow answer at Is there an equivalent of 'which' on windows?,
where.exe
does this on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and later:Example

EDIT: I should have added, if you can't use the WHERE command from the command prompt, check your PATH variable. (Just use the 'path' command.) Make sure C:WindowsSystem32 is in your path. That's where 'where.exe' is located.
WHERE is the command you're looking for! WHERE is like a cross between the UNIX shell built-in 'which' and the 'locate' command, in that it works for both command executables and regular files.
It's also somewhat more complex than either of those two, although, in general a simple
will work.
It's different from the 'locate' command in that it's not looking through the entire filesystem. Instead, the default behavior is to look for files in two locations:
- The current directory.
- All of the directories in the PATH variable.
So, any command that you can run directly from a command prompt without specifying the directory, will be found by the WHERE command. (Because any command like that is already in the PATH variable list.)

If you want to search only in the command path variable, you can use:
If, on the other hand, you want to find all copies of a file in a directory tree, you can use:
Windows 10 Cannot Find File
Finally, WHERE will find commands and any files with an extension from the PATHEXT variable without including the extension. All other files have to be specified either exactly or with wildcards.
Take for example the files 'dxdiag.exe' and 'dxdiagn.dll'. Note the following command and its output:
It succeeds in returning all versions of 'dxdiag.exe' because '.exe' is one of the extensions in the PATHEXT variable. (Note: 'WHERE dxdiag' would have worked as well, because C:WindowsSystem32 is in the PATH variable.)
on the other hand, fails to return any result, because '.dll' is not in PATHEXT.
In this case, look at the result that adding a wildcard gives us:
It successfully returns all versions of dxdiagn.dll.
For more information, use 'WHERE /?'. Hope this helps!

Note that some things might be a little different for PowerShell:

Frustrating that it's not built-in as a simple command.
However, there are several solutions, one of which is a batch file.
Create a batch file (which.bat) as follows:
This looks in the local directory, will take a filename parameter with or without an extension, and return the first match from the current directory or in the PATH.
Then run it like
b wb wwhich cmd.exe
to find the cmd.exe that will execute if you type in cmd

On windows you can use the free utility Everything search engine to search instantly for any file by full or partial name (if your hard disk is formatted in ntfs).

If you just want which, the GnuWin32 project has a bunch of unix utils with individual installers.

You can easily convert this into a Cmdlet.
Another way to accomplish this, as suggested in an edit:

If you just need the path to launch it, it's often better to use the start command. For example, you can use 'start chrome.exe' to start Chrom{e|ium}, regardless of where it is installed.
