- AnssiH 6y agoNote also that ssh and scp (from OpenSSH) are included in Windows by default since 2018.

Of course, if you don't like the rendering/look/customization of the default PowerShell window, you can also grab Windows Terminal: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk...
