Where is Windows Subsystem for Linux stored?

Note: In beta versions of WSL, your “Linux files” are any of the files and folders under %localappdata%lxss – which is where the Linux filesystem – distro and your own files – are stored on your drive.

How do I know if Windows subsystem is installed on Linux?

Type ‘Windows features’ in the search box and then select ‘Turn Windows features on or off’. Scroll down and check the box beside ‘Windows Subsystem for Linux’; click OK and reboot. If ‘Windows Subsystem for Linux’ has ‘(beta)’ next to it then you do not have the Fall Creators update installed.
