As a result of this fundamental shift in frameworks, one cannot simply “upgrade” from Powershell 5 to Powershell 7 as they are essentially two different applications. NET core is the apparent future of Powershell as it isn’t constrained to just running on Microsoft platforms. There are a slew of reasons for this shift that I am not going to get into, in short though. Windows 10 ships with Powershell version 5. Why is Moving to a New Version of Powershell a Chore? Quickly getting up and running with Powershell 7 is what this article seeks to address. Learning the ins-and-outs of using parallel processing was a bit of a chore that I will discuss in a later article, however the first hurdle that had to be mounted was simply getting Powershell 7 installed and figuring out how to make use of it. The results have been excellent with script runtimes being reduced from over an hour down to roughly 5 minutes. I recently overhauled a script that I wrote to take advantage of the parallel processing functionality that is included in Microsoft Powershell 7.
