[Update] Azure Classic service modules works with Powershell version 5.1

[mikefrobbins]

@SauravB-MS, there's an important message at the top of the doc stating that the Azure PowerShell Service Management module only works with Windows PowerShell:

There's also a message at the very top of the doc stating that the cmdlets in this module are only for managing legacy Azure resources that use Service Management APIs:

Please read my request carefully, I am suggesting Azure classic module being incompatible with Windows powershell version 6.0/7.0. Customers will get the below error when using windows powershell Version 6.0/7.0, which comes by default with OS 2019 and above. ***@***.*** To repro, install Azure classic module on Windows Server 2019/Server 2022 and execute Add-AzureAccount? It should fail with the above error. From: Mike F.

@SauravB-MS, Windows PowerShell version 5.1 and PowerShell version 7 are two different products (PowerShell 6 is no longer supported). There is not a Windows PowerShell version 6 or 7.

Looping in @sdwheeler, the docs writer for PowerShell to clarify.

[mikefrobbins]

@SauravB-MS I've submitted an update for the message on that page to help clarify for customers who aren't aware that Windows PowerShell and PowerShell are two separate products:

[sdwheeler]

@SauravB-MS Windows PowerShell is PowerShell 5.1. Windows does not ship with a newer version of PowerShell. PowerShell 6 and higher are built on .NET (core). Windows PowerShell 5.1 uses .NET Framework 4.5 or higher.

Sean, Mike thanks for the clarity. Updated message should help drive more clarity for users.
