Are you getting errors installing Linux distros on Windows 10? In this guide, we'll tell you exactly what you need to do to fix this issue.

There are multiple ways to try any Linux distribution on Windows 11 or Windows 10 computers. However, Hyper-V is the native virtual machine app that you can use to install Linux Ubuntu on your PC.

Using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can launch Linux applications directly in a Windows 10 command prompt or PowerShell prompt.

If you work with Linux, or you just want to test drive the OS, you can use Hyper-V to create a virtual machine with the distro you like alongside Windows 10.

Tip: For older notebooks with a mechanical 2.5-inch hard drive, the switch to Linux is a great opportunity to replace the old drive with an SSD.
