Update key PowerShell components on a new Windows 10/11 installation.

This script is not intended for server operating systems. The script
should be run in an interactive console session and not in a remoting session.

this is a variation of what you could do comparing text files
using Compare-Object. The only difference really is how this
script formats the output.

This should be considered a PROOF-OF-CONCEPT

.SYNOPSIS
Create an HTML Hyper-V health report.
.DESCRIPTION
This command will create an HTML-based Hyper-V health report. It is designed to report on Hyper-V 3.0 or later servers or even Client Hyper-V on Windows 10. This script will retrieve data using PowerShell remoting from the Hyper-V Host. It is assumed you will run this from your desktop and specify a remote Hyper-V host. You do not need any Hyper-V tools installed locally to run this script.

The report only shows virtual machine information for any virtual machine that is not powered off. If you include performance counters, you will only get data on counters with a value other than 0.
