    "space requirements" is talking about your physical storage not the amount of system memory your device has. You should edit your question to indicate the version of Windows 10. This might be helpful

    You should be installing Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store, not PowerShell, if Windows 10 is up to date. Check also your disk free space.

  • @user173972 So just for clarity, a wsl --install? At this point, does wsl -l -v show anything? (Again, remember to edit into the question since the results may be difficult to read in a comment) -- Thanks! Commented Oct 16, 2022 at 12:45
