1. where is a direct equivalent:
   

C:\Users\Joey>where cmd

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Note that in PowerShell where itself is an alias for Where-Object thus you need to use where.exe in PowerShell.

1. In cmd you can also use for:
   

C:\Users\Joey>for %x in (powershell.exe) do @echo %~$PATH:x

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

1. In PowerShell you have Get-Command and its alias gcm which does the same if you pass an argument (but also works for aliases, cmdlets and functions in PowerShell):
   

PS C:\Users\Joey> Get-Command where

CommandType     Name          Definition
-----------     ----          ----------
Alias           where         Where-Object
Application     where.exe     C:\Windows\system32\where.exe

The first returned command is the one that would be executed.
