More info and rules:

 

 

PowerShell v2+ (Not PowerShell Core yet though)(minimum is v3 for install from this website due to TLS 1.2

b) PowerShell 2

Try to switch to the desktop version on your mobile or use a desktop to answer. 


Powershell v2

Landscape mode also works on mobile.

I went with a) but already discovered it’s wrong 😅

 


I won’t answer since I had no idea what the show content would do and pressed it and saw the answer 🙂. Also to be quite honest I did not know 🙂. Next time I will not press show content :) 


 

I want to answer. But I’m not allowed to 😔

 


I’ll go for 2+ ‘cause TLS compatibility!

Please tell me your answer with a letter please :)

 


You’re right! Letter D for me!

 


Answer is D

 


Powershell v2

 


b) PowerShell 2

 


b) Is the correct answer. While PowerShell 3 or higher is required for installation directly from the Chocolatey Community Repository, you could install Chocolatey from a local repository or file share without the need of TLS 1.2

See: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/choco/setup#requirements / https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/choco/setup#installing-with-restricted-tls / https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/choco/setup#install-downloaded-nuget-package-from-powershell 

 

Next question will be on Monday
