Can i install linux via subsystem on unsupported windows(pre creators)
I have windows 10 enterprise LTSB and i wanted to install a linux distro via windows new lunix subsystem. but its only available fpr creators update and above which i am not even remotely thinking of going to, i got as far as force installing the "windows subsystem for linux" to my apps and features menu and i have also download the appx file from the store but i cant manually install it ether as its blocking me even if i manually install from powershell or the native app installer. i even tried extracting the package files and clicking the exe inside gives me this
"The Windows Subsystem for Linux optional component is not enabled. Please enable it and try again.See Install the Linux Subsystem on Windows 10 | Microsoft Docs for details."
which i do have enabled
is this possible to do? i have heard times where people modify a file to a lower build number to make it install
