Can you run this on Windows Subsystem for Linux? And if so can you then run Windows Subsystem for Linux on this virtual machine?

  AFAIK WSL doesn't support nested virtualization, so you wouldn't be able to run a VM inside WSL. You can probably get it working, though, because Hyper-V definitely does support that. Hell, it might even be useful! Windows 11 should add desktop shortcuts for Linux applications, so this would be an easy way to run programs inside an older version of Windows (if you install Windows 7 in the VM, for example).

    For WSL2, nested virtualisation is enabled nowadays. (shipping at least on Windows 11)

      Dependant on CPU, I guess, and not just the hardware. Last time I checked (couple of months back), nested virtualisation wasn't supported on Windows for many (all?) AMD CPUs, even if they had the right hardware instructions.

        Nested virtualisation on AMD CPUs is generally available in Windows 11, but not on Windows 10.
