Convert CMD to PS1

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert CMD to PS1?
Yes - CMD converts to PS1.

Modernizing to PowerShell means rewriting logic by hand - there is no automatic .cmd-to-ps1 translator. Simple echo/copy/delete scripts port easily; complex GOTO/CALL/:label / ERRORLEVEL structures need manual adaption to PS1 control flow. VS Code with the PowerShell extension makes the rewrite easier.
