Is it okay to have both PowerShell 5.1 and 7.4 installed together?

I manage an AVD Remote Desktop server with both PowerShell 5.1 and 7.4 installed. None of the users, except for me as the IT admin, are using PowerShell; I only use it occasionally—about once a month for small tasks. I'm starting to wonder if it's really necessary to have both versions installed, or if it's fine as is. What do you all think?

Both versions have their strengths! 5.1 is pretty solid and standard across many Windows systems, making it reliable for a lot of tasks. Meanwhile, 7.x brings a ton of improvements and modern features, especially for handling large datasets. Just keep in mind that 7.x is cross-platform and might have lost some Windows-specific functionalities. If your work is focused on Windows, sticking with 5.1 might be your best bet, but if you're exploring newer functionalities, keeping both could be worthwhile.
