Does Windows Server 2022 support Powershell 7?
Based on what I've seen so far, it looks like it supports 5.0 out of the box.
I've googled around a bit and it looks like it's supported on Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2012, 201 and 2019.
It surprised me to not see Windows Server 2022 listed.

PowerShell 7 is supported in Windows Server 2022 as shown here, along the different install option.
Windows
7.2 (LTS-current)
7.3
7.4 (preview)
Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022
Supported
Supported
Supported

While I cannot answer your question from experience with Server 2022, I think I can safely say "Yes" to your question based on my experience with the downloadable Zip version of PowerShell 7.x.
That downloadable version works on anything and everything Windows I've placed it on, including Windows PE! Download it, unzip it, run the "pwsh.exe" file in it, and start testing your code!

Update or Fix Windows 10 Lite

I have a problem I need help with. Thanks for everyone's interest.
My computer is using windows pro lite version shared on the online community "Windows 10 Pro 1909 (19H2) Build 18363.476 (Lite Edition) x64 - Nov 2019". It has removed many features. I am needing to re-enable Telnet feature in WINdows Features. But it has been completely removed.
Can someone help me to add Telnet back or is it possible to update windows to full version without reinstalling WINdows.
here is the picture in windows features

Can't get Mongo Shell working on Windows 7

I'm working on a Windows 7 SP1 machine.
I just started using Atlas. Trying to connect to my cluster, I followed the instructions to download mongo shell. I put it in a folder, and opened a terminal. In the terminal I navigated to the bin directory of the mongo shell download folder. Then, when I try to run the connection string, I get an error that I'll translate from spanish:
"Cannot find procedure's point of entry BCryptHash in bcrypt.dll."
I don't know which other details to include in my question. How do I fix this so I can connect via mongo shell?

I have Windows 7, and I want to check how my website works on IE 10. Unfortunatly, I can't setup Win 8 to virtual box.
You need Windows 8 to use IE10 currently (Microsoft's website).
Luckily you can get Windows 8 preview here and install it with virtual box, but be sure to grab the iso (tutorial).
Update:
IE10 is now available for Windows 7.
IE11 is available as well.
Internet Explorer 10 is not supported by Windows 7 for this Beta.
You will have to wait more time to get it on Windows 7 (if Microsoft wants to release it on Windows 7) or try to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview (Get it here) on your Virtual Box or on a special hard disk to try your website.
You can find a good tutorial about installing Windows 8 with VirtualBox here :
VirtualBox Install - Windows 8 Consumer Preview
Another good way is to use BrowserStack which let you try IE10 from this website for 30 minutes (free version), you can find it there : BrowserStack - Online Browser but you may have some bugs with the Internet Explorer 10 option.
Check any online renderer, as
http://netrenderer.com/
It served me well, and you can also define the starting position where to start the actual output. IE version is definable as well, and 10 Consumer Preview is here too.
I develop web stuff on GNU/Linux, and IE is not an option for me in testing. But I only need visual preview, so this made it easier many many times before :-)
You can setup Virtual Box for Windows 8 following this tutorial.
Tutorial
Although IE 10 will be available for Windows 7 only after general availability for Windows 8 is announced i.e late October 2012. But you can currently install the preview of IE 10 on your Win7 machine and test your webpage You can download it here
Update
IE 10 is now available for Windows 7. You can download it here.
Your best bet for now is to install Windows 8 and use it on there. However, if you're stuck to Windows 7 for some reason, Microsoft have announced IE10 will support Windows 7 at release:
When it's released, Internet Explorer 10 will be available for Windows
7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012.
So you could just wait it out and get the final release on Windows 7 in a few months.
Alternatively, IE10 Platform Preview 2 apparently works on Windows 7:
The most recent release for Windows 7 was Internet Explorer 10
Platform Preview Build 2, on June 29, 2011.
IE10 PP2 is old tech and might not be the best thing for testing on, since the real IE10 is probably different. Still, it may be better than nothing.
You can use the online tools like http://netrenderer.com/ or http://browsershots.org/ to get the browser shots of your site.
Also, there is a great tool to test sites in IE 5.5 - 10, it's called IETester. You can download it from http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
How about vmware player? It's also free.
And here is the instruction how to deploy Windows 8 on it: http://ludwigkeck.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/windows-8-on-vmware-player/
And another one just in case: http://dreevoo.com/en/content.php?id=587

MS Windows server 2008 installation

Im installing windows server 2008 on my Windows 7.
It seems like I will need to reinstall all programs after installing MS windows server 2008. I dont really want to do that, is there another way around it?
And how can i find out whether I already have Windows Server installed on my computer? Thanks.
The two operating systems do not support an upgrade path. You could do some unsupported things, IE exporting registry entries and importing them manually, but you're not likely to get things working the same way. Further, some of your applications may not actually be supported on 2008.
