Steps to reproduce
Install PowerShell 7
Wait, until there is a new version
Try to update PowerShell 7
With step 3, the nightmare begins. Not even https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/README.md any note about "how to update PowerShell 7". Since years.
Expected behavior
1. Of course, this is obvious and a shame that M$ Customers have to explain it, here, M$ must explain how customers can easily update PowerShell 7:
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/README.md
2. I expect two simple PowerShell Cmdlets, e.g.:
- `Check-PowerShell-Update` which returns $True if there is a new release and with `-GetDetails` M$ Customers can get additional information like the installed and new version numbers and a link to the Release Notes
- `Update-PowerShell` which, of course, updates PowerShell
3. If M$ is not able to assure a working update by offering two Cmdlets, I hope there are still some great engineers who know how to do the job. Or does M$ need to do this job for free people who spend their spare time, too? Actual behavior
1. M$ Customers must use Google to get information about how PowerShell 7 could easily be updated.
2. Fun fact: M$ Bing offers still less useful links for its own product - after years. Environment data
