| + | |||
| + | <WRAP center round tip 60%> | ||
| + | You will be able to run existing WSL 1 installations with WSL 2, so upgrading should not be a problem! | ||

| + | |||
| + | === Determining which version of WSL is installed ? === | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you have never used WSL on a computer, WSL 2 will be installed directly when you follow the [[other:win10wsl#base_installation|Base installation]] steps | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can determine if your installed Linux distributions are running on WSL 1 or WSL 2 by typing ''wsl -l -v'' in a PowerShell, but if you are not sure if you are currently using WSL 1 or WSL 2 for running Linux, you can check if [[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> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Prerequisites === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * If WSL 1 is already running, you should have no problem with the [[other:win10wsl#prerequisites|disk and memory requirements]] | ||
| + | * For WSL 2, you also need to meet the [[other:win10wsl#hyper-v_requirements|Hyper-V requirements]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Updating! === | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-3---enable-virtual-machine-feature|Activate the Virtual Machine Platform]] (just the //Step 3// instructions) and reboot the computer | ||
| + | |||
| + | After rebooting, go back to the [[other:win10wsl#updating_wsl_1_to_wsl_2|Am I using WSL 1 or WSL 2 ?]] section above, and check that you are now using WSL 2 | ||
