PowerShell and Command Prompt are both command-line utilities that allow users to manage their computer. PowerShell is developed by Microsoft, while Command Prompt is a free utility developed by the Linux Foundation. When the initial release of PowerShell was released, it substituted a Microsoft-developed Linux-compatible kernel for the original one. This caused some problems because regular users cannot install WSL as a regular user on Windows if they merely click “Enter” to open the command line. ..

Windows 10 now includes a Hyper-V hypervisor that allows you to run the entire Linux kernel natively. Previously, installing WSL required downloading the tool, installing it without much assistance from Windows, and manually enabling a number of services. Later versions of Windows 10 changed that, though, and Windows 11 still makes it simple to boot up with a choice of Linux distributions in a lightweight virtual machine environment. To install Linux OS such as Ubuntu in Windows 11 PC:

  1. Open the Start menu and search for “Windows Virtual PC.”
  2. Click on the result to open it.
  3. On the left side of the window, click on “New.”
  4. On the resulting window, type “Linux” in the name field and click on OK.
  5. In the next window, select “Microsoft Windows XP (SP3)” from the operating system drop-down list and click on Next.
  6. On the following screen, make sure that “Use my own computer image” is selected and click on Next again.
  7. In the next window, type in a name for your virtual machine (e.g., “Ubuntu”) and click on Next again to continue setting up your virtual machine environment. After setting up your virtual machine environment:
  1. Launch your virtual machine by clicking on its icon in your Start menu or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F11 (or by using VMWare’s View menu).
  2. Log into your virtual machine as root using sudo su - . (If you are not familiar with how to do this please consult an online guide or ask someone else who knows how to do this.) This will give you full access to all of its files and settings without having to enter a password each time you launch it: Type exit when you are finished logging out.) ..
