Install wsl ubuntu on windows 11 -> Wsl/InstallDistro/Service/RegisterDistro/CreateVm/HCS/HCS_E_HYPERV_NOT_INSTALLED

Windows 11 25H2 
Motherboard: MAG B550 TOMAHAWK (MS-7C91)

Wsl/InstallDistro/Service/RegisterDistro/CreateVm/HCS/HCS_E_HYPERV_NOT_INSTALLED

This was the error message when I tried to install ubuntu. I enabled Hyper-V, nothing changed.
Finally systeminfo in PowerShell gave me the right hint:

> Firmware does not support Hyper-V

So I had to change something in the Bios (MSI Click 5 Bios), but it was not easy to find. Finally a Reddit post brought me the solution:

1. Make sure you are in Advanced Mode (toggle with F7)

2. Overclocking settings > OC Explore Mode to Expert

3. CPU Features > Enable SVM Mode
