title: What is the difference between Anaconda Prompt and Anaconda Powershell Prompt?
body: <p>I am learning Python using Anaconda. Earlier I had only <strong>Anaconda Prompt</strong>. But after recent update of Anaconda through </p>
  
  <pre><code>conda update conda
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I came to see <strong>Anaconda Powershell Prompt</strong>. Few commands I tried in new <strong>Powershell Prompt</strong> which I used to do earlier in <strong>Anaconda Prompt</strong>. These commands worked fine.</p>
  
  <p>Now, my question is what is the reason behind giving 2 command prompts by Anaconda? Is there any difference between their functionalities or capabilities?</p>
  
  <p>My OS is Windows 7 and Conda version is 4.6.12.</p>
