+# How to install Ubuntu using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2)
+
+## Who is this for?
+
+We recommend this method to install Linux if you are a Windows user. You must be running a supported Windows 10 version for your system architecture:
+
+  * For x64-based systems: Windows version 1903 or higher
+  * For arm64-based systems: Windows version 2004 or higher
+
+To check your system architecture and Windows version, open the **Settings** app, navigate to **System** > **About**, then look for the *System type* and *Version* fields.
+
+If you do not meet this requirement or would rather use a virtual machine, go [here](virtualBox.md).
+
+## Enable Windows features
+
+1. Open the Windows Control Panel. You can locate this via search or inside the **Windows System** folder in the Start Menu.
+
+2. In the Control Panel, navigate to Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off.
+
+3. Enable *Virtual Machine Platform* and *Windows Subsystem for Linux*.
+
+4. Restart your computer.
+
+## Install and configure Linux
+
+1. Download and install the appropriate Linux kernel update package for your system architecture:
+
+  * For x64-based systems: https://wslstorestorage.blob.core.windows.net/wslblob/wsl_update_x64.msi
+  * For arm64-based systems: https://wslstorestorage.blob.core.windows.net/wslblob/wsl_update_arm64.msi
+
+2. Open PowerShell and run the following command: `wsl --set-default-version 2`
+
+3. Open the [Microsoft Store](https://aka.ms/wslstore) and install your favorite Linux distribution. If you do not have a preference, install Ubuntu.
+
+4. Create your user account and password when prompted. Congratulations, you now have a working Linux distribution in Windows!
+
+## Optional: Install additional utilities
+
+The following utilities are not required to install WSL 2, but will improve your development experience.
+
+  * [Windows Terminal](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/get-started): an improved command-line experience
+  * [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/): a package manager for installing applications from the command-line
