I used the following to install Powershell 7. The installation finished without error but using $PSVersionTable.PSVersion, the version is still 5 even after reboot. Please advise. Thanks

Hi,

When you install PowerShell 7 (preview) you will get a new PowerShell to open: "PowerShell 7-preview (x64)".

To use PowerShell 7, you'll need to run the PowerShell 7-preview (x64).

Best regards,
Leon

Or on the command line:

pwsh-preview
