Hi,

I know docs say that Win11 is needed, but then I came around this post: https://dev.to/nicole/running-macos-on-windows-10-with-wsl2-kvm-and-qemu-21e1

It says "win10". I'm now in the dev channel of the insider program, but it will only try to load win11, which I cannot use (my CPU is not supported by win11 apparently, so no chance here...). BUT it says, win10 should suffice, so that's strange.

The post also says that some needed feature is only appearing in "19619" BUT that's a win11 build number, not win10.

After all my research, I believe, there is no way to get this running. But I wanted to double-check here if anyone managed to do it.

Thanks in any case in advance!
