I was following a video tutorial on installing OpenVPN Server on Windows Server 2019 and for that I needed to install OpenSSL. I downloaded and successfully installed version 3.0.1, but as soon as I run the script openssl version, it shows

OpenSSL 1.0.1j 15 Oct 2014

AFAIK this older version was not installed on purpose.

Is there a way to change the default version of OpenSSL or remove the old version?

Thank you!

It seems like you have multiple versions of Openssl installed, which is not unusual as it's bundled with quite a few apps - like Git or Strawberry Perl. You can see this by running "Get-command openssl" to see which different installs you have.

One option to force your command prompt to use your dedicated Openssl install instead of a version bundled with other software is to give it a higher priority your PATH variables. Edit your PATH in your environment variables System Properties -> Advanced -> Environmental variables and make sure your OpenSSL install is above the PATH entry for the software that bundles it.
