Hello! New User interested in RFID's--stuck on windows step 10

Hello,

My name is John and I'm an undergraduate senior majoring in Physics. I've recently become very interested in RFID's and am hoping to use my ProxMark3 I got at a hacking conference in 2016 to read many types of RFID's. Hoping to eventually go into RF electronics. I have minimal programming experience and am totally new to GitHub. My first question is pretty basic. I've been going through the "Getting Started with Windows" and I'm stuck on step 10:

"Test the configuration by running "runme.bat". You should see a Minimalist GNU terminal window."
When I try to do this I get the error:

'Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\John'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

I think the fundamental issue is that there's a space in the file path. It should be 'C:\Users\John Smith\....' and I'm not sure how to overcome this. I've tried navigating to the file location in GitBash and the windows command line and opening runme.bat using the "source" command (is that only unique to MAC's...?) and by just typing the file name directly in the terminals. I tried editing the file path to:
'C:\Users\John/ Smith\....' in the windows command line prompt and it bash and it still told me it couldn't find 'C:\Users\John'. I tried changing the name of the John Smith folder to John_Smith but somehow I'm not able to edit the directory name in the windows filename editor GUI...? (It's grayed-out). Any help with this issue would be appreciated. Sorry to start off so basic and I'm happy to join this community!
