Using a specific version of PowerShell

2014-05-20

If you inspect $PSVersionTable you’ll see a few different versions of things being used with PowerShell in the current session, specifically look for $PSVersionTable.PSVersion. By default the most latest version will be used.

To launch a specific version of PowerShell you can pass the -version switch, e.g. for PowerShell v2:

C:\> powershell -version 2
