Step 5: Important step to mount back to the /home/<username>/ of the current existing wsl after moving

[KhoaLee]

I have followed through your steps and figured out that the step 5 is extremely important to mount back the vhdx of wsl2 to what has been installed and configured in the /home/ for people who have has the setup for their linux distro, such as: oh-my-zsh, nvm, p10k, .etc

I think you should mark the step 5 is important for people who has had the current wsl2 on default C: drive and want to move to another drive, the step is necessary to bring back all set up. Thanks

Totally agree, step 5 is not really optional...

Hiya. How can I check if I successfully moved the wsl Linux distro into my desired windows drive?

Go to Powershell and run:

Get-ChildItem "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lxss" -Recurse

It will list all the distributions you have installed, and you can check the BasePath property to verify the installation drive
