- For macOS/Linux, the profile is located at `~/.config/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1`
- On Windows, PowerShell comes pre-installed, but there are two versions of it. [Read more about it here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/windows-powershell/install/installing-windows-powershell). The profile is located at different places depending on which version you're using:
- Built in PowerShell (aka "Windows PowerShell"): `~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1`
- The newer, PowerShell >= 7, that's not built in: `~\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1`

- On Windows to edit your profile you can run this in a PowerShell
```powershell
notepad $profile
```
#### Windows Command Prompt aka Batch aka WinCMD
