How can one use WSL using VS by installing Ubuntu with error-0x80370102 even though I know I have a VM running on my machine?

I am running Win 10 Home and I’m trying to install Ubuntu WSL 22.xx LTS (…something like that) through Visual Studio.

After downloading from the Windows Store a popup windows says it’s installing and unpacking the distro, stating:

Installing, this may take a few minutes…

WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370102

Please enable the Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.

For information please visit https://aka.ms/enablevirtualization

Press any key to continue…

So I clicked the link which brought me to the following page…

Check the Hyper-V system requirements
If your machine is a VM, please enable nested virtualization manually. Launch powershell with admin, and run:

PowerShell

Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true

What should put for <VMName>? Hyper-V? I’m assuming my machine is not a VM so I believe I need to enable nested Virtualization…however, I have a VM running on my machine already for my job so nested virtualization must already be enabled, right?? It’s called “VMware Horizon Client” but I’m not sure if that’s helpful. Please let me know if you need more information and how I can generate it for you.

From reading other questions on this issue, I thought perhaps running bcdedit /v might help so below you’ll find the output:
