Alex,

Open the old Windows PowerShell CLI and enter the following command:

Invoke-Expression "& { $(Invoke-Restmethod https://aka.ms/Install-PowerShell.ps1) } -UseMSI"

It may work from inside V6+ but I haven’t tried it.

May the Forces of good computing be with you!

Anyone else interested Installing PowerShell 7.4 on Windows,

another method, you can use the MSI packages to install.

Alternatively, use WinGet (using PowerShell‘s ID, rather than Name, so there’s no confusion (a)):

winget install Microsoft.PowerShell

Note that you can, instead, download/install the Preview version (b).

winget install Microsoft.PowerShell.Preview

To save having to respond to prompts, you can append acceptance for both the source and package agreements. For example:

winget install Microsoft.PowerShell –accept-source-agreements –accept-package-agreements

Note that if you previously installed PowerShell 7.4.6 then you could just update it (again, using its ID so there’s no confusion):

winget update Microsoft.PowerShell

(Just be aware of the risk of unintended consequences if you use winget update –all.)

Hope this helps…
