02What it does

Modules extend PowerShell with commands like Enable-BitLocker or winget helpers, and knowing what's installed tells you which scripts will run as-is. -ListAvailable scans all module paths (system, AllUsers and CurrentUser); without it Get-Module only shows what's loaded in the current session. Modules from the PowerShell Gallery can additionally be listed with Get-InstalledModule.
