 +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, or if you are updating WSL 1 to WSL 2, use ''​systeminfo''​ to check 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]]
