How to use PowerShell 5 on Visual Studio 2016 and PowerShell Core 6 on Visual Studio 2019 and Ubuntu?

In the appveyor config file I'd like to use PowerShell 5 in Visual Studio 2016 images and PowerShell Core 6 in Visual Studio 2019 and Ubuntu images for tests. If I use PS, then PowerShell is used on both Visual Studio 2016 and 2019 and PowerShell Core on Ubuntu. How can I change to PowerShell Core on Visual Studio 2019 but keep PowerShell 5 for Visual Studio 2016?

The current appveyor.yml file can be found here:

    Hi Florian,

    I can't suggest an easy hack for that, but you can switch to using powershell and pwsh commands explicitly, kind of:

    - cmd: powershell ./myscript.ps1
