When I type java -version or java in cmd, it throws the error that

java is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I know that this has already been covered on a post for windows 7. However, I downloaded and installed java (Java SE Development Kit 13.0.1) from oracle, installed the program, and configured the path in environmental variables, system variables to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1\bin\. I've checked the program files and Java is there, so I'm not sure why

Did you check system environment variable that connected by ';'. Except for that reason, the situation does not show any problem for me. Although the path is different, the method is the same as the photograph.

Can you check it first?

Make sure the instance of cmd has C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1\bin in its PATH. You can use echo %PATH% to print the value of PATH to the terminal.

If cmd was already open when you added it then it wouldn't pick up the changes; that's a mistake I've made a number of times. I've also experienced cases in Windows 10 where I had to reopen the system variables editor THEN reopen cmd before the change took effect. I never got to the bottom of that one but I would open the editor to confirm I had added the correct path, then it would start working.
