When moving my data and software from disk C to disk D, the task which has been consuming quite some time, I found two options I hadn't noticed before.

1. To move data (including metadata), one has to move all of the folders under %HOMEPATH% (the user's home directory) to another location, one by one
2. To move binaries, one might consider package managers, such as winget, scoop, or chocolatey (non-admin option, gonna be default for me)

However, even automated scenarios, e.g. based on PowerShell (which might look cross-platform, but still is not) are rather tricky. Nevertheless, let's try upgrading PowerShell:

• winget list --id Microsoft.Powershell
• winget upgrade --id Microsoft.Powershell

Oops:
A newer version was found, but the install technology is different from the current version installed. Please uninstall the package and install the newer version.

Here's my story:

1. The beginning: upgrading Windows 10 to 11

Пример: пытаюсь найти пример простейшего действия на PowerShell, в ответ получаю вот такое:

Reading a text file and finding text using PowerShell.

Скажите, люди, вы правда хотите стать идиотами, похожими на роботов? Или вы уже ими стали?
