To start developping script you can use the Powershell ISE that is by default installed. You can open it by looking for Windows PowerShell ISE or use cmd to launch any file or the ISE directly:
PowerShell_ISE –file "file1.ps1,file2.ps1"
Here both files file1.ps1 and file2.ps1 will be opened in Windows PowerShell ISE.

You might not have allowed running powershell script on your computer.
Open the powerShell (should be a command line screen with a blue background when opened from the windows start up menu). Or you can use cmd and type start powershell to launch it.
type the following command to see the current execution policy on the computer
Get-ExecutionPolicy
Fo security reason, you might want to check the policy level required. Unrestricted, Allsigned, RemoteSigned, Restricted. Let's set it to Unrestricted to do some tests.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Now we can run the hello.ps1 script, first let's go to the repository it has been saved, then run it.
Set-Location 'Documents\GitHub\PowerShell\src'
./Hello
One tips if you need to run something that needs your credential multiple times is to save it in a value:
$global:Credential = Get-Credential
The global keyword makes this value available from anywhere
