windows novice here, running windows 10 on a dell i7 inspiron. In command prompt, I am able to run neither gpresult nor gpresult /v which both seem to be common uses. I can't find any installation instructions (or proof of the necessity of installation). Any such command issued returns what I presume is boilerplate, 'gpresult' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Is there a way to install it; am I issuing the prompt incorrectly or missing some prior step; or does the absence of built-in gpresult indicate something interesting?

Your path is broken.
Look for spaces in your path which shouldn't be there.
See What are PATH and other environment variables, and how can I set or use them? for instructions on how to edit your path.
The default path on Windows 10 is:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
