insight - PowerShell proper setup
Hello, been using Windows 11 for few months since MS will be ending support next year windows 10 by far is better. Anyways I was wondering why there are different versions of Power shell windows 11 came with 5.1 or 5.2 i downloaded power shell 7.1 now it seems that power shell has two different versions installed is this true? what is the proper way to have power shell setup / updated and ready to use? I know there are new features and what not but just want to make sure it is setup correctly on my system for example updating Power shell 5.1 with latest command updates does not install power shell 7.1 why is this , is it a entire new module?

- Powershell 7. is always installed on Windows 11 PCs. It's called Terminal and contains legacy Powershell, Azure Cloud shell, CMD and the "new" powershell. Some commands are not functional in the legacy powershell. I recommend to use Terminal with the "new" Powershell and keep it up2date.
