You’ll get a list of options that can be downloaded and installed for you. Open a command window as an administrator (as in step 1) then type wsl –list –online We suggest not to use your Windows credentials here, as they will only be used when in the WSL. Once it’s finished, you’ll get a prompt to create a username and password for WSL use. When you’re back on the desktop, you’ll get a window that pops up saying it’s installing WSL and Ubuntu. Wait until the notification that says WSL is installed, then restart. None of this will be usable until you reboot your PC, so… You can change the Linux version later on if you prefer another distro. That will install any services WSL needs, the utility itself, and also download and install Ubuntu, which is the default Linux distribution, or distro, that Windows uses.
The easiest way is to search for “Powershell” or “command prompt” then choose the Run as Administrator option from the search terms Launch PowerShell or Command Prompt as an administrator. All you need is some inbuilt tools, and the ability to type. With Windows 11, you don’t have to manually enable anything, or hunt for settings, or even download anything to extract.
