- Search for the name of your Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian).
- Click on the distribution to open the WSL terminal.
3. Navigate to the C:\software folder:
- In the WSL terminal, use the `cd` command to navigate to the C:\software folder.

That's it! You have successfully installed the software and extracted it to the C:\software folder using WSL.
Please note that the actual commands and steps may vary depending on the specific software package and your Linux distribution. Be sure to consult the software documentation for any specific requirements or instructions.
