We’re proud to announce the availability of PowerShell 7.5.0-rc.1! This is the first release
candidate version of PowerShell 7.5 and is considered a “go-live” release meaning that it’s a
supported release in production. PowerShell 7.5 is built on top of .NET 9 and will be
supported for 18 months as a standard support release.
Please note that support for PowerShell 7.2 is ended November 8, 2024. PowerShell 7.4 is
the current LTS release of PowerShell and is supported until November 2026.
How do I get it?
Since PowerShell 7 is supported on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and there are a
many ways to install it. If you installed the previous PowerShell 7.5 preview release on
Windows and opted into Microsoft Update, you will be automatically updated to 7.5.0-rc.1.
Note
Automatic updates aren’t available immediately after a release. It can take up to 2 weeks to get the
latest versions deployed to all release channels.
