+ | |||
+ | === Am I using WSL 1 or WSL 2 ? === | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have never used WSL on this computer (and for **this user**), WSL 2 will be installed directly when you follow the [[other:win10wsl#base_installation|Base installation]] steps | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are not sure if you are currently using WSL 1 or WSL 2, you can check [[https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/1599|Is there an easy (PowerShell?) way to get more information about WSL?]] has been answered, or make the following checks | ||
+ | |||
+ | * ''wsl --update'' will give the same output (i.e. the installed Linux kernel version) for both WSL 1 and WSL 2 | ||
+ | * <code>PS C:\Users\jypeter> wsl --update | ||
+ | Recherche de mises à jour en cours... Veuillez patienter | ||
+ | Aucune mise à jour n’est disponible. | ||
+ | Version du noyau : 5.10.102.1</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | * ''wsl --status'' will display again the kernel version if you already have WSL 2, but will display a link to the WSL installation page if you are running WSL 1: https://aka.ms/wsl2-install | ||
+ | * <code>PS C:\Users\jypeter> wsl --status | ||
+ | Distribution par défaut : Ubuntu | ||
+ | Version par défaut : 2 | ||
+ | Activez la fonctionnalité Windows de plateforme de machine virtuelle et assurez-vous que la virtualisation est activée dans le BIOS. | ||
+ | Pour plus d’informations, rendez-vous sur https://aka.ms/wsl2-install</code> | ||
