How can I have WSL 2 on my Windows 10 Education versioned PC?

I am trying to upgrade from WSL 1 to WSL 2 on my PC. However, when I write the command "wsl --set-version Ubuntu-16.04 2", the command isn't recognized and instead the Powershell interpreter takes me back to a list of all other supported options and arguments for the wsl cmdlet. Going to the docs on WSL 2, I have tried upgrading my Windows 10 Education to the Windows version 2004 but it doesn't materialize. When I installed the Windows Upgrade Assistant in order to effectively upgrade(Which I thought was the main problem), a pop-up at the end of the exercise of updating indicated that my PC settings aren't yet supported on my version of Windows 10. Is there a way I can just simply get WSL 2 on my PC, or simply upgrade to the Window versions that seem to better be supported by WSL 2? Quality help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

WSL2 is not currently supported here on QnA. They're actively answering questions in dedicated forums here.
