If you run VS Code on macOS or Linux, the process above should be a good guideline, but will likely need some tweaks.I run into issues while configuring visual-studio code on a win 7 machine.Ĭopyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

Of course, with a new version there might be more you want to customize – and now you’re ready to do so! Now you have PowerShell 7 as your integrated console with the same customizations as before. Type notepad $profile, paste your old profile, save and exit, and restart VS Code. Now restart VS Code and you should have a PowerShell 7 prompt, if uncustomized. Select Edit in settings.json and add this text (using the correct path if you installed to a non-default location) and save the file: '': 'C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe',īecause this is a completely different installation, it doesn’t inherit our existing profile, so before restarting, run notepad $profile and copy the contents. This is because the default integrated shell on Windows is the base PowerShell from your OS, and PowerShell 7 is a separate install.

When you relaunch VS Code, however, you’ll still be using whatever PowerShell you had prior. I assume it’s similar on other OSes, but the specifics may differ. You’ll have to close VS Code – and for some reason, Slack, at least on Windows – and shortly you’ll see PowerShell 7 installed. Installation on Windows is as simple as selecting Yes and following the prompts.

If you haven’t heard, PowerShell 7 has been released! Even if you haven’t gotten emails or RSS alerts, it’s hard to miss if you use VS Code as the PowerShell plugin will remind you on startup:
