Enable Nested Virtualization on Windows to run WSL 2 (Linux) and Hyper-V on a VM.

**Please note: This applies only to Windows 10 Pro, NOT Home edition!**
On Windows by default nested virtualization is disabled. This means you won't be able to run WSL 2 or Hyper-V on a VM. In this video, I will show the issue you will run into if nested virtualization is off and how to fix it.

What a fine solution, thank you very much!!!!

Thank you for your video. Please clarify, is there WSL2 enabled on the host itself?

I.e. is it possible to have WSL2 enabled on the host itself and on the guest system at the same time?

Great video! Let me ask, should the tweak work in Windows 11 Home as it does on Pro? For context, the Hyper-V Manager is not available in the Home edition but the command might work. Thanks!

what if you don't have hyper v installed though
or its not windows pro or newer

What if there is no Virtual Machine Platform in the Windows Feature selection?

Would this be the same for Windows 11? thanks.
