Miku SANO / Installing Ubuntu-24.04 via WSL1 on Windows11 in Virtualbox 🥳

To test Windows 11, I installed it on VirtualBox using an ISO file. Later I installed Ubuntu-24.04 on Windows 11 via WLS1.

I followed this YouTube video to install Windows 11 in VirtualBox.

However, I initially missed the message that said Press any key to boot from CD or DVD after launching the newly created virtual machine. As a result, I failed to boot properly and had to restart the process several times.

After installing Windows 11, I attempted to use WSL2 to install Ubuntu. However, the installation failed, so I had to switch to WSL1 instead.

I created a new virtual machine to try again. While installing Windows applications are straightforward, uninstalling them proved to be more difficult.

To enable WLS1, I had to tweak several virtual machine settings. Those resources were helpful:

• To install WSL1 in Windows 11
• Virtualbox enable nested vtx/amd-v greyed out

I also used the VBoxManage command-line tool to modify VirtualBox settings. Note that it may require adding the command to your system PATH.

In the end, I successfully installed Ubuntu24.04 in Windows11 in the virtual machine.
