edHAACKnet: WSL - Installing Fresh on Win10 in 2021

Installed with:

choco install wsl -y

Continued install with: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual

While moving from WSL 1 to 2, had this pop-up:

Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse

... and after a quick Google-Foo:

Go to the properties on the directory: LocalState
Uncheck: "Compress contents to save disk space" and "Encrypt contents to secure data"
Apply

Then:
