Description

The current instructions for installing WSL [use the Windows Store](https://github.com/carpentries/workshop-template/blob/6918f944b682df6f14206452c059ef6bad353613/_includes/install_instructions/shell.html#L183).

Research direction

Start with _includes/install_instructions/shell.html around line 183 and review the current WSL installation guidance. Identify an installation route for learners whose IT administrators block the Windows Store, then update the instructions so that limitation is covered and the resulting guidance remains usable.
