Hi! As state in our prerequisites, we support PowerShell v6 and higher. You'll have to install PowerShell 6+ as the error message says to use Copilot CLI in Windows! (Alternatively, you can use WSL)

I've got the same problem and I'm running it on powershell 7

@JoachimC Can you try running pwsh.exe --version and let us know if that works? Internally that's what we're doing to detect PowerShell availability, so it would be great if we can track down how that can fail if PowerShell 7 is present.

SteveSandersonMS thank-you - It ends up I had a later version of PowerShell installed but my shell sessions were being directed to use v5.1. So I upgraded to 7.5 using winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell --source winget and all seems well now.

Thanks for confirming. Closing then.
