The first screen shows the Output Window, not a terminal. The menu in the second picture shows the shortcut, Ctrl+Alt+O.

Visual Studio didn't have a terminal until recently. Visual Studio 2019 16.3 Preview 3 added experimental integration with Windows Terminal, itself a preview feature released this summer to the Windows Insider ring.

To enable it, you need first install Windows Terminal from the Windows App Store. After that, go to Tools > Options > Preview Features page and check Experimental VS Terminal :

The closest thing you can get to Terminal in VS is "Package Manager Console" (View -> Other Windows -> Package Manager Console).

Despite its name, it is a PowerShell based console that allows you to execute pretty much any DOS or PowerShell command installed on your machine.
