    Latest Powershell is 5.1
    According to this site adsecurity.o rg/?p=2277 adsecurity. org/?p=2604
    Powershell included with OS is of course 8-years old, outdated
    Do you guys recommending updating Powershell for better and maximum security, other than that I'm not a programmer/ developer or a powershell geek by the way.
    Also would it enable those security features by default or do I have to manually do it myself?
    I'm not familiar with Powershell except the fact that I know it can be excecuted in background silently, run commands.
    Also do I have to only download latest setup Is it cumulative .like .net Framework? or I'd have to download al (4.0, 5.0, 5.2l, then install one by one?

    IMHO its a quite abstract danger

    Why dont you check the installed version?
    Open an command window and enter powershell $psversiontable
    If there is a Version near to 5 your ok.

    This file right? Win7AndW2K8R2-KB3191566-x64, do I have to execute the script?
    is SP1 & net framework 4.5+ the only requirement ?

    Install Instructions are pretty self-explanatory
