How to upgrade PowerShell version from 2.0 to 3.0

The OS that I am using is Windows 7, and the PowerShell version that is installed here is 2.0. Is it possible for me to upgrade it to version 3.0 or 4.0?

Because there are cmdlets that version 2.0 can't recognize.

How do I install PowerShell 3.0 on Windows 10?

You can download Windows PowerShell 3.0 from the Microsoft Download Center. You need to download the appropriate package for your target operating system.

Download and install from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34595. You need Windows 7 SP1 though.

It's worth keeping in mind that PowerShell 3 on Windows 7 does not have all the cmdlets as PowerShell 3 on Windows 8. So you may still encounter cmdlets that are not present on your system.

The latest PowerShell version as of Sept 2015 is PowerShell 4.0. It's bundled with Windows Management Framework 4.0.

Here's the download page for PowerShelll 4.0 for all versions of Windows. For Windows 7, there are 2 links on that page, 1 for x64 and 1 for x86.
