- Powershell 2.0 is extracted from the last compilation of Windows 11 Insider
- Versions 5.1 and 7.x are the best replacements
- There is no word about the elimination of the Windows server
Microsoft has confirmed that Powershell 2.0 is officially eliminating Windows, starting with the latest compilations of Windows 11 Insider – Build 27891 (Canary Canal).
The news occurs eight years after Powershell 2.0 was unnoticed in 2017 due to delays related to dependence (for example, older SQL server versions), but Microsoft retained back compatibility to relieve the transition.
It does not mean that Powershell has gone completely; Instead, users will go to version 5.1 (which is pre -installed in most Windows modern editions) or 7.x (which offer multiplatform support).
Powershell 2.0 finally be on the side for newer versions
As a reminder of how long Powershell 2.0 has existed, it was originally sent with Windows 7, Vista and XP, as well as Server 2003 and 2008. Although it has been eliminated with the latest version of Windows 11, Microsoft has not shared any plan to eliminate it from Windows Server so far.
“More information will be shared in the coming months in the elimination of Windows Powershell 2.0 in an upcoming update for Windows 11”, the Windows Insider program leader Amanda Langowski and the main manager of products Brandon Lebland wrote in a blog post.

Meanwhile, users who want a more reliable operating system can leave the Canary channel by installing a new copy of Windows 11.
