Getting Started with PowerShell

Installing/upgrading PowerShell

If you don't have PowerShell installed or want a more recent version of PowerShell, you'll need to find the Windows Management Framework (WMF) download that matches the PowerShell version you want. WMF includes PowerShell as well as other related tools such as Windows Remoting (WinRM), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and Desired State Configuration (DSC). The contents of the distribution change from version to version, so make sure to read the release notes included in the download. Here are links to the installers:
