Reference

Microsoft Learn: ConvertTo-Html

Converts objects into an HTML table. Pipe the result to Out-File and open it in any browser. Pick columns with -Property, or the report will include every property.

Try this

A small disk report with a heading and a timestamp:

Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem |
    Select-Object Name,
        @{ Name = 'FreeGB'; Expression = { [math]::Round($_.Free / 1GB, 1) } },
        @{ Name = 'UsedGB'; Expression = { [math]::Round($_.Used / 1GB, 1) } } |
    ConvertTo-Html -Title 'Disk report' -PreContent '<h1>Disk report</h1>' -PostContent "<p>Created $(Get-Date)</p>" |
    Out-File -FilePath .\disk-report.html

Start-Process -FilePath .\disk-report.html

Add a style sheet with -CssUri to make it look nicer.
