If you have two or more versions of Power Shell on your computer it is possible to choose the one you want to run.
By default the highest version may be one that runs as in the present case on Windows 8.1 Professional (version 4.0 is installed in Windows 8.1 by default and Version 3.0 in Windows 8).
As described in the previous post, version 2.0 is also present.
You can run the version you want by the following command:
PS C:\>Powershell -version
This is how you run the version you want.
