+  mount an ext4 drive on windows

+Had to whip up a quick easy solution to access my linux drive from windows to get some files across. This is what I came up with.
+
+This is mostly ripped from [this microsoft article](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk) but i figured i'd keep it here for when i inevitably have to do this again.
+
+
+
+```
+/* Mount NVME from path (GET-CimInstance -query) */
+wsl --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1
+wsl
+/* Find the partition number (i.e sda1 = 1) */
+lsblk
+exit
+/* Remount the drive with the correct partition */
+wsl --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 --partition 1 --type ext4
+wsl
+/* Find mount point within wsl (in my case, /dev/sdd2 */
+df 
+/* Mount drive within wsl */
+sudo mkdir /mnt/debian
+sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdd2 /mnt/debian
+```
+
+With this completed, you'll be able to natively access an ext4 partition using the WSL file explorer integration and zoom all your files across at good speeds.
