About this tag
The runtime migration tag covers guidance for moving production PowerShell workloads between supported versions. Current coverage focuses on PowerShell 7.4 LTS reaching end of support on November 10, 2026, with PowerShell 7.6 LTS recommended as the target rather than the short-lived 7.5 release. Topics include testing automation directly on 7.6, checking every task, service, and pipeline, and confirming whether each uses pwsh.exe for PowerShell 7 or powershell.exe for Windows PowerShell 5.1 exceptions. This archive is useful for administrators planning dependency changes, validating execution paths, and reducing compatibility risks during a runtime migration.
