Most of the examples shown in this book are executed with Windows PowerShell 5.1. You can work with this latest Windows PowerShell version either by just using a Windows 10 machine, or by upgrading the PowerShell version of your current Windows environment. This is described later in this chapter, in the Windows PowerShell 5.1 section.
