Lets quickly go through on how to add the new Powershell7 which is GA.
If you have not downloaded , get it from here https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell
Open Terminal as Administrator.

It would open the settings JSON file called profiles.json.
Before adding the Powershell7,
1.We need a new GUID to set this for PowerShell7.
2. We need to know the location of the PowerShell7 executable.
3. Optional , If you want to add an icon/change settings /colors etc.

These icons would be under 'assets'
Making the changes in the Profiles.json.
Go to the 'Profiles' section in the JSON

Prepare your code as below.

"acrylicOpacity" : 0.5,
"closeOnExit" : true,
"commandline" : "C:\\PowerShell7\\7\\pwsh.exe",
"fontSize" : 12,
"guid" : "{9a5af5e5-eecf-40d3-baec-db915dee4ba3}",

"padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
