I’m a Systems Engineer with a passion for automation, turning complex tasks into streamlined processes both for work and fun.

Some might call it DevOps; I call it doing what I love. Fluent in PowerShell, C#, Python, and Go(lang), I also have a nostalgic appreciation for C.

Nowadays, Go is my go-to for high-performance needs. I pride myself on hand-crafting every line of code—no AI shortcuts here!

Join me in my journey, where clean, readable code is the norm, and automation is an art form.

Upgrade PowerShell 7 version

less than 1 minute read

When Microsoft releases a new PowerShell 7 version the following message is displayed in terminal/console:

PowerShell upgrade available

To upgrade to the latest version you can either go to the PowerShell Releases Page or use the following command to upgrade directly from the console:

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

This will start the download of latest PowerShell 7 version and start the installer directly from the current console:

PowerShell Installer Page

The use of the -UseMSI parameter will cause installation to immediately start, when you will be asked chose to close application locking required files this will close the current PowerShell session but installation will progress and once it is over latest PowerShell version will be installed.
