I've been trying to locate the 64-bit version of PowerShell but haven't had much luck. A coworker claimed that it hasn't been released yet, and I want to find out if that's true or if there's been a rebranding. Has 64-bit PowerShell or something similar been launched under a different name?

PowerShell Core is actually 64-bit by default. The version you run can be 32 or 64-bit depending on whether you launch the shell from the system32 folder (64-bit) or the syswow64 folder (32-bit). So there's a good chance you're already on the 64-bit version if you're using Windows.
Wait, they're mixed up? 64-bit in system32? That's surprising!
