+===== Case Sensitivity =====
+//Taken in part from [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/case-sensitivity|Case Sensitivity]] on Microsoft Learn platform//
+When working with both Linux and Windows files and directories, you may need to adjust how case sensitivity is handled. Standard behavior:
+  * Windows file system treats file and directory names as case-insensitive. FOO.txt and foo.txt will be treated as equivalent files.
+  * Linux file system treats file and directory names as case-sensitive. FOO.txt and foo.txt will be treated as distinct files.
+The Windows file system supports setting case sensitivity with attribute flags per directory. While the standard behavior is to be case-insensitive, you can assign an attribute flag to make a directory case sensitive, so that it will recognize Linux files and folders that may differ only by case.
+=== Windows Linux Subsystem ===
+//Windows PowerShell opened in administrator mode//
+Run the following:
+    Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
+This takes a few seconds and will (prompt you to) restart your computer.
+=== Change CS Settings ===
+//Windows PowerShell opened in administrator mode//
+To inspect case sensitivity settings, run:
+    fsutil.exe file queryCaseSensitiveInfo <path>
+To enable case sensitivity, run:
+    fsutil.exe file SetCaseSensitiveInfo <path> enable
+To disable case sensitivity, run:
+    fsutil.exe file SetCaseSensitiveInfo <path> disable
