HOW TO:Get PowerShell version info

Posted by Bharat Suneja at 4:55 PM
While the command ver could get you the version info on a command prompt, and winver does it in the GUI, if you're stumbling to find the command to get the version number of Windows PowerShell installed on your computer (like I did for a while), it is Get-Host.

Perhaps adding an alias for ver so it works out of the box would've been a good idea folks... ! :)

To add the alias: new-alias ver get-host

or you can type $host. there's lots of interesting variables, try get-variable and it will show you all.
