Invoke-WebRequest was added in powershell 3.0

So your powershell is older. Windows 7 comes with 2.0 if that is your case.

You can update it by installing WMF 5.1: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/windows-powershell/wmf/setup/install-configure

If you can't update it, you will have to use the Net Framework's class for web requests: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.webrequest
