Windows upgrade or Upgrade for short are a update script written in powershell. The script look for your package managers including WSL ones and update them.

To run the script make sure your PS1 file is placed in a location in your path and that you are allowed to run scripts.

To run the script make sure the script location is placed in your windows $PATH variable. (For a real terminal super user feeling.) But you can also just run the script.

The script can detect:

• Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
• PSWindowsUpdate (Powershell Module)
• Scoop
• Chocolatey
• WinGet (Windows Package Manager)
