Why doesn't it work for me on Win 10? I tried PowerShell and CommandPrompt and neither worked. What should I do?

Yes, the scripting environment is available for the XP SP3. You can download it from the official website, but although you are inclined to download the latest version, try obtaining an older one to have maximum compatibility for scripts and operating system. Use the link below to reach the download page.

Windows Powershell is not a junk application. It's used for automation and configuration management framework. It's actually a terminal-based command-line which allows you to do more than issuing a few commands like the normal does. It enables administrators to perform task on local and remote Windows system. If it has no use for you, then you can remove it without any worry.
