 ## Overview
 
-- This guide will show you how to setup WSL 2 and Docker Desktop.
+This guide shows how to prepare WSL 2 so you can run minikube with the Docker driver.
 
+If you install Docker inside your WSL distribution, follow the standard Linux Docker installation guide and complete the post-install steps for non-root usage.
+
+If you use Docker Desktop, make sure WSL integration is enabled for the distribution where you run `minikube`.
 
 ## Steps
-Microsoft and Docker have in-depth guides for both, just follow along for a successful setup!
 
-1. [Install WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install)
-2. Install and setup [Docker Desktop for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/wsl/#download)
+1. [Install WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install).
+2. Choose one Docker setup:
+   - Install Docker inside your WSL distribution by following the [Docker Engine installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and the [Linux post-install steps](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/).
+   - Or install and configure [Docker Desktop for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/wsl/#download), then enable WSL integration for your distribution.
+3. Verify that Docker works from inside WSL:
+
+   ```shell
+   docker version
+   docker ps
+   ```
+
+4. Start minikube with the Docker driver:
+
+   ```shell
+   minikube start --driver=docker
+   ```
+
+## Accessing services on WSL
+
+When you use the Docker driver on Windows or WSL, the node IP is not reachable directly. If `minikube ip` prints an address such as `127.0.0.1` or `192.168.49.2`, do not rely on that alone to access your workloads from a browser.
+
+- For `NodePort` services, use `minikube service <service-name> --url` and keep that terminal open while you access the forwarded URL.
+- For `LoadBalancer` services or ingress, run `minikube tunnel` in a separate terminal and keep it running while you access the service.
+- For ingress on WSL with the Docker driver, use `127.0.0.1` or `localhost` together with `minikube tunnel` rather than the node IP.
