- Now, You can start writing your PowerShell script or copy-paste the script and then click on the “Run Script” button from the toolbar. (Shortcut key: F5)
Any output from your script will appear in the output window below the script editor. You can also use Visual Studio Code to execute PowerShell scripts.
