After installation of the Virtual Machine Platform component, you must restart Windows 11 before proceeding with the installation of WSL components and an Ubuntu application.

#### Installation of WSL from the Microsoft Store

Duration: 3:00

WSL components are now available as a preview version directly from the Microsoft Store like other Windows applications.

To install the WSL application from the Microsoft Store, open it and search for **Windows subsystem**.

Click on the item **Windows Subsystem for Linux Preview** to open the corresponding application page.

Click on **Get** to download and install the application.

Upon installation, you can click on **Open**, but it will not do much since there is no Linux distribution installed.

However, if you really want to open the WSL application without installing a distribution, you’ll see a nice and short help message that you must follow in order to make something useful with WSL:

You can now proceed with the installation of Ubuntu.
