### AI overview

The PowerShell team announces that MSIX will become the primary Windows installation method starting with PowerShell 7.7-preview.1. MSI packages will continue for existing releases, including PowerShell 7.6, but are not planned for PowerShell 7.7 GA and later releases. The change is driven by MSIX's modern servicing model, reliability, update support, and accessibility goals, while the team works to address gaps involving remoting, system-level services, and enterprise deployment.
