    I'll pin this to the taskbar for now so I have a quick short cut. Do you know if it will be included with the next Windows 10 release in the Spring?

    Hello Nick,

    I haven't seen anything so far indicating one way or the other if 7.1 will be included.

    I'm sure they do update it at least once a year.

    Currently I have installed only Powershell v5.1 on Windows 7 on one of my computers.
    Now I want to try PowerShell v7.04 on this Windows 7 computer

    I prefer not to use the *.msi installation package (for PowerShell v7.04) but download the portable *.zip package instead.

    Assume I extracted this Powershell package into D:\Powershell\v10\

    How can I tell Windows 7 to automatically use temporarily this newer Powershell version instead of the existing v5.1?

    Second question:
    Assume I use the v7.04 *.msi package to overwrite the existing Powershell v5.1:
    Is there a way to later downgrade to v5.1 again?

    Hello tobwen,

    No worries.

    The default built-in PowerShell 5.1 version will not get replaced by PowerShell 7.x no matter how installed.

    PowerShell 7.x will be installed as a separate app. You will be able to run both versions.

    So ok, assume I have two Powershell installations in Win7

    Now I put a PowerShell command into a *.ps1 or into a *.bat DOS batch script and start the script
    How does Win7 decide which Powershell installation/version it should use?

    How can I force Windows to use the other (=non-default) Powershell installation?

    Windows will use the 5.1 by default.

    You can set the .ps1 file type to use the PowerShell 7.x app by default instead.
