How to Update Powershell on Windows 11

 

By default, Windows 11 comes with the latest Powershell 5.1 preinstalled.

But you’d be surprised that Microsoft has also released a cross-platform 

Powershell Core (version 7.x) with extensive features.

Indeed, Powershell is popular among developers, system administrators, and 

even beginners, thanks to its easy-to-learn lightweight cmdlets. Thus, if 

you prefer this command-line interface, you’d definitely want to get your 

hands on its latest version.

Updating or installing the latest Powershell version is relatively easy. 

You can do it using the MSI package, Zip package, command lines, or even from the Microsoft Store!

like Automatic Pipeline Parallelization, Null conditional operators, and 

more. It also supports Docker containers, Defaults to UTF-8 encoding,
