I'm trying to get WSL 2 running. To wit I did the following:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName VirtualMachinePlatform
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
The next step, according to , is to make a distro use WSL2 vs WSL1. To do that you need to do wsl --set-version <Distro> 2. I tried that, substituting <Distro> for Ubuntu and got the following error:
Invalid command line option: --set-version
So I guess I don't have WSL2 installed idk.
I'm running Windows 10 Build 18362.356.

You need to be on build 18917 or greater, and already have WSL 1 installed
See
Invalid command line options #419
and
WSL 2 install documentation updated to include links to instructions on how to install WSL 1.
