Hi DoriNoTech.

Open a command prompt window and execute the below command

MSG /SERVER:127.0.0.1 /TIME:05 * HELLO WORLD

In this example, I've used the loopback address to test it on my machine.
Here's the result for the command's execution

At the command prompt, execute msg /? to get help about that command.

Bye.

Hi ,

Based on my research, The Home editions of Windows don’t include MSG.
