Is there a way to change JDK version easily in cmd? like the version on mac.
Change Default JDK on Mac.

Here's my guide for Windows 10.
Step 1. Go to System Properties. Click on Environment Variables
Step 2. Add new variables, such as JAVA_8_HOME
JAVA_8_HOME:%ProgramFiles%\Java\jdk1.8.0_152\bin
JAVA_9_HOME:%ProgramFiles%\Java\jdk-9.0.1\bin
JAVA_HOME:%JAVA_8_HOME%
In my case, JAVA_8_HOME(JDK8) is pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_152\bin. You can replace this with your own path to javac. %JAVA_HOME% has a default value pointing to JAVA_8_HOME, which is the path for JDK8. That's my preference, feel free to adjust accordingly.
Step 3. Select PATH and click on Edit. PATH
Step 4. Click on New and add %JAVA_HOME%. %JAVA_HOME% will be added to PATH automatically every time you launch a command prompt.
In order to switch JDK version in cmd, here's the trick.
Step 5. I created a batch file with
@echo off
:: Switch JDK version
DOSKEY java8=SET PATH=%JAVA_8_HOME%;%PATH%;
DOSKEY java9=SET PATH=%JAVA_9_HOME%;%PATH%
Basically, it disables echo and creates two alias. In batch file any string after :: is the comments. Every time, java8 or java9 is called, it re-exports %PATH% with the new JDK path. Save it as profile.bat. You can name it whatever you want.
Step 6.
Search for regedit (Registry Editor). Click on Edit > New > String Value. Give AutoRun as the Value name and %USERPROFILE%\profile.bat as the Value data. Here, please put your actual path value to the profile.bat we just created. So, whenever a command prompt is opened, it automatically loads profile.bat, which creates those two alias in the script.
Step 7. Close any command prompt you're using or just open a new command prompt. This is because your changes will not affect opened cmd window. Environment changes only happens to new CMD.
Step 8. Verify your results here.
If you're using different Python versions, same trick applies, too. Find my python environment settings here.
