Pull request overview

This PR clarifies the distinction between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7 in the update notification message FAQ documentation, addressing user confusion reported in issue #12757. The issue raised concerns about an ambiguous statement that could be misinterpreted to mean PowerShell in general (including PowerShell 7) is no longer being developed.

Changes:

  • Updated the document modification date to reflect the current revision
  • Added explicit statement that PowerShell 7 and Windows PowerShell 5.1 are separate products
  • Clarified that specifically Windows PowerShell 5.1 (not PowerShell in general) is no longer being developed
