What did I run to get this information?

Run in Version 2:

Get-Command -Module Microsoft.PowerShell.Core | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File C:\Temp\Old\Core.txt

Run in Version 3:

Get-Command -Module Microsoft.PowerShell.Core | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File C:\Temp\Core.txt

Repeat for each of the modules…
