Read the code you run carefully. Some functions are presented as an example only. You must be aware of the meaning of the functions in the code. If you're not sure what the script does, do not run it. Some of functions can be run also on LTSB/LTSC and on older versions of Windows and PowerShell (also on 32bit systems).
