powershell

Hi is this a substitute for PowerShell

Confused.

Your screenshot shows an elevated PowerShell console, i.e. perhaps run by right-clicking on the Start 'button' and choosing the Windows PowerShell (Admin) option.

Are you asking if PowerShell with elevation is a substitute for unelevated PowerShell?

They are exactly the same by language but running PowerShell elevated (i.e. as an Administrator) gives the process 'rights' that an app run by a 'standard' user doesn't have.

it was saying try the new PowerShell just curious whats that abouyst

Ahhh.... it's talking about the cross-platform version of PowerShell that is usually called ' PowerShell Core' (currently now at v6?)... which is different to PowerShell v5 used by default in Windows 10.

The only reason I'm hazy about the answer is 'cos it doesn't affect Windows 10 users at all unless they also use OS' like Linux.

PowerShell for Windows is currently up to version 7. No doubt the core OS will be updated at some point in the future but, for the moment, just ignore the message. It's not something you nor I (or anyone else) needs to think about for the moment.

Hope this helps...

so if the power shell is used in reverse same result ?

Sorry, I don't understand your question.

Never heard of such a thing. There's "Windows Powershell" at version 5; it comes by default with Windows 10 and 11, and is the final
version of Windows Powershell, as all subsequent versions are and will be cross-platform. The latest release of cross-platform
Powershell is 7.2, I think, and is just called "Powershell". These two varieties of powershell are independent, and can be used side-by-side.
