How do i change the header label when using Select-Object in powershell

Question

I am trying to get a list of drives and the size. I do not want the header in the output to be $_.Size. I want the header to be Size2 (for the sake of argument) so am trying to use a label, expression hashtable as follows

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName myserver | ? {$. DriveType -eq 3} | Select-Object DeviceID,{$.Size},{label='Size2';expression={{$_.Size}}}

But this just gives a extra blank column called "label='Size2';expression={{$_.Size}}"
What am i doing wrong ?

Hi @Greg Booth ,

maybe this helps to get it going (this is getting the local drives):

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk |  
    Where-Object {$_.DriveType -eq 3} |  
        Select-Object DeviceID, Size, @{label='Size2';expression={$_.Size}}  

Result looks like this:
