 +You can skip reading this WSL //​requirement//​ if you are installing WSL for the first time, and are therefor directly installing WSL 2

 +
 +WSL 2 needs the //Virtual Machine Platform// to be enabled on your computer. If you have never used WSL before, you can probably go directly to the [[other:​win10wsl#​base_installation|Base installation]] section and ''​wsl''​ should install everything correctly
 +
 +If you have problems (e.g. [[https://​docs.microsoft.com/​en-us/​windows/​wsl/​troubleshooting#​error-0x80370102-the-virtual-machine-could-not-be-started-because-a-required-feature-is-not-installed|The virtual machine could not be started because a required feature is not installed]]),​ or if you are updating WSL 1 to WSL 2, type ''​systeminfo''​ in a PowerShell to check if your machine meets the [[https://​docs.microsoft.com/​en-us/​virtualization/​hyper-v-on-windows/​reference/​hyper-v-requirements?​source=recommendations#​verify-hardware-compatibility|Hyper-V requirements]]
 +
 +If you get a ''​No''​ for one of the ''​Hyper-V requirements'',​ check the //​virtualization//​ settings in your [[other:​bios#​entering_the_bios|computer BIOS]].\\ You can have a look at the [[https://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​X86_virtualization|x86 virtualization]] wikipedia page if you are wondering what ''​VT-x''​ and ''​VT-d''​ means for //Intel// processors (''​AMD-v''​ and ''​AMD IOMMU''​ for //AMD//)
