Windows key, type "developer mode", hit enter, click "developer mode" (or 3x tabs, space, enter).
PowerShell, send "lxrun /install /y"
Done.
Pro-tip. Pin PowerShell to your taskbar and drag all the way left. Now you can open it with win+1.
Edit: now with no mouse required!

Don't buy home to do work. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/compare https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/compare
