Me too had the same issue that

'gcloud is not recognized as an internal or external command' .

For windows 7 user goto: MyComputer->Right Click - Properties -> Advanced System Settings - advanced - Environment Variables.

First have to set path extension.

This can be done by:

Under System variables in Environment variables choose PATHEXT->Edit -> Add ' ;.PY'.....PY for Python Support

Second change the environment variable:

Under System variables in Environment variables choose PATH->Edit-> ADD "C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\bin " and click OK.

'gcloud -h'

Sure it will work.
