Why doesn't "Set-Item" work on Windows 7 PowerShell?

I am trying to install Windows 10 IoT on my Raspberry Pi 2. The PowerShell documentation tells me to put in this:

Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value <minwinpc>

However, when I put it into my Windows 7 PowerShell, this comes out:

At line:1 char:54
+ Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value <minwinpc>
+                                                      ~
The '<' operator is reserved for future use.
+ CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : RedirectionNotSupported

How do I fix this?

I'm sure they meant for <minwinpc> to be a place holder for the name of the computer. like it is here. – Mike Zboray
Actually, Mike, that's the exact name that it says on my Pi. – Essem
Probably without the without the angle brackets, that seems to be the default. – Mike Zboray

You need to use quotes rather than < > around the name of the device (minwinpc)

Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value 'minwinpc'
