Setup for PowerShell 7
github.com/Tensionix/setup-for-powershell-7 ↗Install PowerShell quickly, or update older versions — and skip turning on the settings that make it open from the right-click menu. The PowerShell 7 package can do more than a default installation switches on: the «Open here» and «Run with PowerShell» entries, the PATH entry, the event log, updates through Microsoft Update, telemetry off, remote interaction. These property names are not invented — they are read out of the package itself. The kit installs a fresh version with all of that and carries the terminal settings across. For people who are not installing PowerShell for the first time and are tired of finishing the job by hand.

A portable kit: installs the PowerShell 7 shell and configures it the way it should be — in one command.
Why It Exists
A package manager installs the program but does not configure it. The installer offers options nobody remembers six months later. And the post-install settings get reassembled on every machine.
The kit takes all of that on: it downloads the current package with all the options the package manager omits, and carries the terminal settings across.
The folder can be carried to another machine whole — nothing else is needed.
The Principle
A check before installing. A separate command shows what is already present and what will be done, changing nothing.
Next
- Run the batch file in the root. Elevation is requested only when it is needed.
The program is portable: the unpacked folder is the installed program. Nothing is written to the registry; to uninstall, delete the folder.
