You don't need to use rvm on Windows, that's just something Mac users have to do.

Do you have the - Start Command Prompt With Ruby?

ruby -v

If you have just opened the cmd

irb

it should then show something like:

ruby-1.8.7-p334 :001 >

If you want these to work in any cmd you may need to set this in the installation of Ruby: For "ruby" command be available in any command prompt, the Ruby installation you did needs to be available in the PATH.
