adb is not recognized as internal or external command on windows

If you go to your android-sdk/tools folder I think you’ll find a message :

The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/

If you don’t see this directory in your SDK,
launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool)
and install “Android SDK Platform-tools”

Please also update your PATH environment variable to
include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can
execute adb from any location.

So you should also add C:/android-sdk/platform-tools to you environment path. Also after you modify the PATH variable make sure that you start a new CommandPrompt window.
