Hi krishna veni,
You’re absolutely correct! Running:

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

is the standard way to check the installed PowerShell version. It will return the Major, Minor, Build, and Revision numbers.

A few extra tips you might find helpful:

Where to run it: Open PowerShell or Windows Terminal, then enter the command.
Alternative method:

Get-Host | Select-Object Version

PowerShell editions:
- Windows PowerShell (usually version 5.1) comes preinstalled on Windows 11.
- PowerShell (Core) (7.x and above) is cross-platform and installed separately.
