To use AWS powershell you will need to download and install the module form AWS. The link and install instructions are below.
https://aws.amazon.com/powershell/
Once the module is installed you should be able to run Powershell as administrator and configure your powershell as below:
Set AWS Credential Profile
Set-AWSCredentials -AccessKey {AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE} -SecretKey {wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY} -StoreAs {ProfileName}
Initialize-AWSDefaults -ProfileName {ProfileName} -Region {eu-west-1}
Without specifying a default Region in the profile setup you will be required to use -Region command on the end of every cmdlet you run.
You should now be good to run AWS Powershell
