As outlined on Overview of Azure PowerShell (AzureRM) - Microsoft new recommends you to use the Az PowerShell module (released in October 2018) to interact with Azure.
The Azure Az PowerShell module introduces a number of benefits such as shorter commands, cross-platform support and increased stability. From a supportability perspective, the AzureRM module is still officially maintained and will receive critical fixes through February 2021. I recommend keeping tabs on the supportability section of the Azure Az PowerShell module documentation page as this date has already shifted.
When you first start to use the connect-AzAccount - you might receive a warning that you still have the old AzureRm modules installed. If you have installed the AzureRM PowerShell modules using a MSI package, you must uninstall it through the Windows system rather than using PowerShell
A nice enhancement is the warning around having multiple Azure subscription linked to the account that you use to login (something quite common for cloud consultants) - as outlined in the warning you can use Set-AzContext to select another subscription.
