Windows 8: Right-click the Start menu and select Run. Then enter cmd and select OK.
Windows 10: In the Start menu, enter cmd, and select the Enter key.

The MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt window will open. Enter tracert yourdomain.tld and select the Enter key.

After the traceroute completes, select all (Ctrl+A) and copy (Ctrl+C).
Paste (Ctrl+V) this into a text document (like Notepad or WordPad) so you can reference it later.
