Asked By TechieNinja92 On

I'm looking for some advice on whether I should uninstall PowerShell version 7.5.3 from my computer. I tried upgrading to version 7.5.4, but I ran into issues where the upgrade via winget wouldn't work. So, I ended up installing 7.5.4 separately, but now I'm left with both versions. Should I go ahead and remove version 7.5.3 manually, or is there a reason to keep it?

It's likely that you had different installer types for the versions. Winget typically uses the MSI installer, while Microsoft Update might use the EXE one. If you're seeing both versions, it may be best to remove the older one just to keep things clean.

Why keep it? I'd suggest just uninstalling it. You don't really need both versions hanging around.

Hey, I'd say uninstall both versions and then get the latest one with a standard installer. The usual installer tends to put it in the 'C:Program Files' folder, which is the right place for apps, instead of the 'AppData' which is kinda messy. Just a thought!
