Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

This preview release includes PackageManagement (previously known as OneGet) and PowerShellGet Windows PowerShell modules. The versions of these modules exactly match those that shipped with WMF 5.0 Production Preview.

This preview installs exclusively on systems running Windows PowerShell 4 or Windows PowerShell 3 only. This preview will not install on any systems running Windows PowerShell 5 (including Windows 10) which already ship with these modules. If you plan to move to Windows PowerShell 5, we advise you to skip installing this preview and instead install our WMF 5.0 Production Preview or upgrade to Windows 10.

With PackageManagement, you can do the following:

• Manage a list of software repositories in which packages can be searched, acquired, and installed
• Discover software packages you need
• Seamlessly install, uninstall, and inventory packages from one or more software repositories

We hope this preview will enable you to easily discover and install modules from PowerShell Gallery as well as publish your modules to PowerShell Gallery.
