How can I see what certificates are installed on a Windows computer with PowerShell

Using PowerShell to view certificates is easy. PowerShell has a provider that exposes the certificates store which is part of the pki and security modules, which are loaded automatically as long as you’re on version 3 or greater. You do not need to manually load the modules, they auto-load from PowerShell v3 and above.

To view the certificates in the local users personal certificate store/local machine store I would use the following:  

#Change to the location of the personal certificates

Set-Location Cert:\CurrentUser\My

#Change to the location of the local machine certificates

Set-Location Cert:\LocalMachine\My

#Get the installed certificates in that location
