I'm pretty sure this is an issue that Windows PowerShell (emphasis on Windows PowerShell aka 5.1) exposes as the PowerShellGet module was updated in PowerShell 6.0, and then subsequently updated in v7. The full explanation is over here on Microsoft Docs "Installing PowerShellGet on Windows"

The short of it is that in order to use the "AllowPrerelease" switch, you need to force update your PowerShellGet module. Once you do this, you should be able to install any module (and in turn any edition of a module) you want from the PowerShell Gallery.
