# Updating Linux on Windows

Running Ubuntu Linux on your Windows machine?

## Stay Up to Date

Here's what to do to ensure you have the latest packages installed on your machine.  Run the following commands and enter your password when prompted:

### 1.  Check for new updates.
```
sudo apt update
```
### 2. List of upgradeable packages.
```
apt list --upgradable
```
### 3. Install the updates
```
sudo apt upgrade
```

Three simple commands are all it takes.    I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64) on my Windows machine.
