Hi,

You can get powershell 7.1 here

X86
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.1.0/PowerShell-7.1.0-win-x86.msi
X64
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.1.0/PowerShell-7.1.0-win-x64.msi

The msi packages can be installed from the command line using msiexec.exe and the following options

• ADD_EXPLORER_CONTEXT_MENU_OPENPOWERSHELL - This property controls the option for adding the Open PowerShell item to the context menu in Windows Explorer.
• ENABLE_PSREMOTING - This property controls the option for enabling PowerShell remoting during installation.
• REGISTER_MANIFEST - This property controls the option for registering the Windows Event Logging manifest.

The following example shows how to silently install PowerShell with all the install options enabled.

msiexec.exe /package PowerShell-7.0.3-win-x64.msi /quiet ADD_EXPLORER_CONTEXT_MENU_OPENPOWERSHELL=1 ENABLE_PSREMOTING=1 REGISTER_MANIFEST=1
