About this tag
The net 8 tag covers a PowerShell support and migration discussion tied to the .NET 8 release. The featured content explains that PowerShell 7.4 LTS, released on .NET 8, reaches end of support on November 10, 2026, alongside PowerShell 7.5. It recommends testing production automation directly on PowerShell 7.6 LTS rather than making an intermediate move to 7.5. The discussion also distinguishes pwsh.exe for modern PowerShell 7 workloads from powershell.exe for Windows PowerShell 5.1 exceptions, with guidance to verify executables in tasks, services, and pipelines before changing versions.
