+TOPIC
+    PowerShell Help System
+
+SHORT DESCRIPTION
+    Displays help about PowerShell cmdlets and concepts.
+
+LONG DESCRIPTION
+    PowerShell Help describes PowerShell cmdlets, functions, scripts, and
+    modules, and explains concepts, including the elements of the PowerShell
+    language.
+
+    PowerShell does not include help files, but you can read the help topics
+    online, or use the Update-Help cmdlet to download help files to your
+    computer and then use the Get-Help cmdlet to display the help topics at
+    the command line.
+
+    You can also use the Update-Help cmdlet to download updated help files
+    as they are released so that your local help content is never obsolete.
+
+    Without help files, Get-Help displays auto-generated help for cmdlets,
+    functions, and scripts.
+
+
+  ONLINE HELP
+    You can find help for PowerShell online at
+    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=108518.
+
+    To open online help for any cmdlet or function, type:
+
+        Get-Help <cmdlet-name> -Online
+
+  UPDATE-HELP
+    To download and install help files on your computer:
+
+       1. Start PowerShell with the "Run as administrator" option.
+       2. Type:
+
+          Update-Help
+
+    After the help files are installed, you can use the Get-Help cmdlet to
+    display the help topics. You can also use the Update-Help cmdlet to
+    download updated help files so that your local help files are always
+    up-to-date.
+
+    For more information about the Update-Help cmdlet, type:
+
+       Get-Help Update-Help -Online
+
+    or go to: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=210614
+
+
+  GET-HELP
+    The Get-Help cmdlet displays help at the command line from content in
+    help files on your computer. Without help files, Get-Help displays basic
+    help about cmdlets and functions. You can also use Get-Help to display
+    online help for cmdlets and functions.
+
+    To get help for a cmdlet, type:
+
+        Get-Help <cmdlet-name>
+
+    To get online help, type:
+
+        Get-Help <cmdlet-name> -Online
+
+    The titles of conceptual topics begin with "About_". To get help for a
+    concept or language element, type:
+
+        Get-Help About_<topic-name>
+
+    To search for a word or phrase in all help files, type:
+
+        Get-Help <search-term>
+
+    For more information about the Get-Help cmdlet, type:
+
