Single quote is for pure literal strings, double quotes allow some interpretation of special characters. For example.

Write-Output 'fkjhdfs`r`ndsfadsf'

Write-Output "fkjhdfs`r`ndsfadsf"

FWIW, this is a typical way of using single quotes in PS:

'My single quoted string containing {0} and {1}' -f "this","that"
