How-To Geek, Monday, December 16th, 2024
You can access Linux and Windows files through Windows Explorer and WSL Linux shell windows.v
Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, is a way to run Linux distributions in Windows without dual-booting or installing virtual machines, but its real power comes from the ability to launch Windows and Linux apps simultaneously.
You can access files for any Linux distros installed with WSL in the Windows Explorer. Look on the left-hand sidebar and you'll see an icon of Tux, the Linux mascot, and then click the triangle to expand it to see all the WSL distros you've installed. You'll then be able to navigate the Linux filesystem through Explorer.
