This is actually a Windows thing, but I happen to have experiences for.

Per [Microsoft’s own documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install), the only requirement is Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11, but [similar issues](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8184) were indeed reported in the past.

Please copy-paste the exact message, as there could be multiple different possibilities that sound similar.

Indeed, by looking at  
-Task Manager  
-Performance  
-CPU  
You can see if Virtualization is enabled or disabled right under the graph.

On my minibook it says: Enabled

Cheers, Jaap

It was a confusing message, virtualization is enabled by default. I just had to install the optional feature virtualization support.
