Finding your PowerShell version helps you know what PowerShell features you have access to. By using a PowerShell command we can reveal its version number. Let’s explore this simple feature.
This is for devices running Windows 10
Find Your Version
First, open the Start menu. In the Cortana search box, enter Windows PowerShell, and click the search results in upper left-hand corner. Refer to below image:
Now, in the PowerShell window that opens, type the following command and press Enter:
$PSVersionTable
See below image:
The PowerShell command will display various numbers. The first value that says PSVersion is your PowerShell version. See following image:
You may now close the PowerShell window.
PowerShell Updates
Windows 10 updates the built-in PowerShell tool when you install system updates. This means you should keep your device up-to-date to ensure that you are always running the latest version of PowerShell.
Also, know that PowerShell 7 is different from the version that’s usually installed on Windows 10 PCs. To install this version, either download the installer file or run a command from PowerShell.
