How to install GroupPolicy module for PowerShell?

Question

I just started writing scripts in PowerShell.
The desired script is supposed to create a local GroupPolicyObject (GPO) which will be specified afterwards. Research showed that it could be done with the New-GPO command within the GroupPolicy module for PowerShell. I tried to install the mentioned module but unfortunately nothing I found worked. May I ask for help?

I am using Windows 7 and Powershell 5.1.14409.1005

Error I receive when running example from Microsoft page ( New-GPO -Name TestGPO -Comment "This is a test GPO." ):

Answer 1

It is actually extremely simple, but the organization of the modules and features has changed many times in the past ten years, Microsoft Docs don't document the up-to-date way anywhere and all articles found online are very old.

Anyway, to install the Powershell Module called GroupPolicy , you need to install the Windows Feature called GPMC (Group Policy Management Console) which includes the mentioned module.

Install-WindowsFeature GPMC

This feature was once a subfeature of the RSAT feature, which is the cause of confusion.
