Enable WSL

This feature is disabled by default and you must activate it:

You can do this with PowerShell (with administrator privileges):

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Or change it manually in:

Control-Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows feature on or off, and click the "Windows subsystem for linux" and "Virtual Machine Platform" buttons.

Then restart your computer to finish installing the requested changes.

Update to WSL2

In order to update WSL you need to download the Linux kernel update package. After installing the add-on, go into PowerShell and paste:

wsl --set-default-version 2

With this command, all our new distributions will be installed with version two.
