How to run powershell v5.1

[noobmaster1069]

For those that don't know, I didn't, "PowerShell" and "Windows PowerShell" are different,
"PowerShell" is currently V7 and not natively installed. So if you haven't installed it, it shouldn't be an issue. "Windows PowerShell" is V5.1. You can run Windows PowerShell by pressing Win + R, type powershell, and hitting Enter: Windows PowerShell 5.1 will start.

You can check what version is running by entering the following: $PSVersionTable.PSVersion
Major should be 5, Minor should be 1

I learned this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/i4o4zx/downgrading_from_posh_70_to_51/

Updated, thanks. I'm not familiar with anything more than copy/paste lol so originally I assumed, incorrectly that the default was 7
