Hashcat newbie here, what CL do I need to run a standard benchmark to get hashrates

hashcat64.exe -b

Found the above online but that comes up with the following error.

'hashcat64.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.
You need to take your command prompt (cd C:\some\path) to where you extracted the hashcat archive, or specify the path to that executable as part of the command line like C:\some\path\hashcat64.exe -b

Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.
