Windows PowerShell modules with PowerShell Core 6.1

Starting with Windows 10 Insiders Build 17711, changes have been made to inbox Windows PowerShell modules to add compatibility with PowerShell Core 6. With the Preview.4 release of PowerShell Core 6.1 you can use some Windows PowerShell modules without additional work.

Get-Module -ListAvailable

# shows modules from:
#   - $env:UserProfile\Documents\PowerShell\Modules
#   - $env:ProgramFiles\PowerShell\Modules
#   - $env:WinDir\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules

Specifically, modules that have some level of validation will have the CompatiblePSEditions property in its module manifest include Core which enables it to show up automatically. Over time, we expect many more inbox Windows PowerShell modules to be converted to be compatible and have tehir CompatiblePSEditions property updated.
