System variables (those that you would address in Batch as %varname%) are accessible in PowerShell as $env:varname. You can list the system variables that are visible to your PowerShell session with Get-ChildItem -Path Env:.

In Windows, it looks like $env:userprofile or $env:homepath without the drive.

dir env: | where value -match admin
