If in case "Laravel PHP Command Not Found" error comes while installing Laravel 10 with "laravel new project_name" command then try to set the environment variables like below:-

v) Then add below paths to windows PATH environment variables: ;E:\xampp\mysql\bin;E:\xampp\php;
(In my case, Xampp is in E drive so I given E path, you can give your own drive where your Xampp installed)
Now Laravel 10 must be installed with "laravel new project_name" command so exit current Git Bash and go to your project folder and right-click on it to run again.
4) Run Laravel by giving the below command in the project folder:-
php artisan serve
5) Check Laravel version by giving the below command:-
php artisan --version
You can see it will show Laravel Framework 10.0.0. It means Laravel 10 version has been installed successfully.
If in case, it shows Laravel 9.0 version or your old version, then do the below steps to update it to Laravel 10.0:-
a) Update composer.json file :-
Update composer.json file located at the root of your project to update "laravel framework from 9.0 to 10.0
"laravel/framework": "10.0.*",
b) Run "composer update" command :-
After updating composer.json, you have to run the "composer update" command to update Laravel 9.0 to 10.0
c) Run "php artisan -version" command :
Now you can see; it must show Laravel Framework 10.0.0 when you check the Laravel version.
6) Encryption Key Issue (if any)
If an encryption Key issue comes, then run the below command:-
php artisan key:generate
And then restart laravel server again means close Git Bash and run it again with "php artisan serve" command.
