One thing that's not obvious is your CPU needs to support virtualisation. I am still stunned how good the performance is having run through this! I've tried a couple of other Linux distro's too, seriously slick.īefore starting check out the requirements from the top of the 'Accelerated KVM guests on WSL2' post. Then I realised, I finally had an excuse to give this a go! I've been itching to since I read - Accelerated KVM guests on WSL 2, an awesome write-up on how to run accelerated KVM guests on WSL2 from is a walkthrough of how I used the excellent work of and and got my 3 year old XPS Intel i7 to run MacOS on Windows 10! Without their writeups and scripting this post probably wouldn't exist.
I needed to record a demo on a Mac, I don't own a Mac and was contemplating borrowing one from a friend.
