**npx create-react-app my-app
npx: installed 67 in 8.021s

Creating a new React app in C:\Users\Harine\my-app.

'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Judging by the "'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command" message, looks like npm isn't available in your PATH or that something is messed up with your node/npm install potentially.

Try running npm -v in your terminal of choice to see if you get current npm version you have installed. If you get the same error message, you probably need to add npm to PATH properly.

Instructions how to do add stuff to PATH can be googled easily.
