+If you dualboot Windows and Linux, you may need to transfer files between your bare-metal Linux and WSL.
+
+Firstly, mount your Windows disk C: on Linux. For it, run:
+
+```
+sudo pacman -S ntfs-3g
+sudo mkdir -p /mnt/c
+sudo mount /dev/<Windows partition name> /mnt/c
+```
+
+WSL filesystem is stored as .vhdx file, so we will use qemu-nbd to mount it as usual disk drive.
+
+Install and enable nbd kernel module:
+
+```
+sudo pacman -S nbd
+sudo modprobe nbd
+```
+
+Install qemu:
+
+```
+sudo pacman -S qemu
+```
+
+Connect .vhdx file to nbd device:
+
+```
+sudo qemu-hbd -c /dev/nbd0 /mnt/c/<path to .vhdx file>
+```
+
+By default, path must look like Users/[user]/AppData/Local/Packages/[distro]/LocalState/[distroPackageName]/ext4.vhdx
+
+Finally, mount ndb device:
+
+```
+sudo mkdir /mnt/wsl
+sudo mount /dev/ndb0 /mnt/wsl
+```
+
+Now you can transfer files or chroot into it.
