The following table gives you an overview of the Windows PowerShell versions and how they correlate to the different Windows versions. If you are running PowerShell 64-bit, you will receive True as output otherwise, you’ll receive False. You can check whether you are in 32-bit or 64-bit shell with ::Is64BitProcess. You can also run into problems if you want to instantiate an object of a 32-bit application (Microsoft Office, for example) with the 64-bit version of PowerShell. For instance, if you want to extend PowerShell with snap-ins (compiled cmdlets), you have to ensure that you download the correct version. Problems can arise if binaries are involved.

On a Windows 64-bit edition, you will find a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of PowerShell for backward compatibility purposes. However, this will only work if you installed. If you want to ensure that a PowerShell script also works properly on a system with PowerShell 2.0, you can switch to a PowerShell 2.0 prompt on every Windows version after Windows 7 with PowerShell.exe -Version 2. PowerShell 2.0 is integrated in all Windows versions since Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. PowerShell Core on macOS runs on Darwin Switch to PowerShell 2.0
