How to created a cluster using Kind on Windows 10

[ssethuma1155]

When I run command "kind create cluster" getting the error below. I tried the same with some other images listed, but get the same error. This sounds like there is some setting missing. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Suren

PS C:\Windows\system32> kind create cluster

This looks a little different, but did you take a look at the information in the pinned issue for WSL2? #3180

I took a look at that. On my Windows 10 box, there does not seem to be an option to check wsl version. 'wsl --version' is not supported.

Ah, now I see you are just running this from PowerShell. Kind needs a Linux environment, so you will need to enable WSL to use it.
