There are 4 different copy commands by default within PowerShell I can think of: copy, xcopy, robocopy, and copy-item. Robocopy is still better at many scripted tasks, even though it is from CMD.

And powershell comes with multiple different versions that can be installed side by side, and have overlapping functionality.
Meaning, there are things you can only do in Powershell v1.x and other things you can only do in v7.x .
Also, the syntax and available commands are different.
