Accordingly, the new upgrade will bring PowerShell directly to version 7. In a blog post, Microsoft explained why the company decided to take a leap from 6.2 to version 7, internal. Specifically as follows:

'Microsoft has found that the demand for PowerShell Core has increased significantly over the past two years. In particular, most of this growth comes from activities using PowerShell on Linux or related to this operating system. It can be said that this is encouraging information for our investment in creating more versatile and convenient PowerShell platforms.

However, it is also clear that the need to use PowerShell on Windows has not achieved a significant increase, although PowerShell is a commonly used tool on Windows platforms.

This means that Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core users will be able to use the same PowerShell version to automate on a variety of operating system platforms such as Windows, Linux and macOS and of course between Windows platforms. . In addition, PowerShell 7 users will own very high compatibility between this platform and the Windows PowerShell modules they trust at the present time. '

In addition, Microsoft will release PowerShell 7 for Windows users but will allow them to switch between PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.
