I would suggest to skip the

vagrant box add laravel/homestead
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

part and do everything else and then just

vagrant up
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and it will download the required box automatically. Because when you add the box through the

vagrant box add laravel/homestead
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

it downloads a different box probably of Hyper-V type and with a different version and then when you

vagrant up
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

it says oh no we don't need this box we need that box so we gonna take an hour more to download that box so just skip the vagrant box add laravel/homestead part and just vagrant up (after doing other steps) and it will download the box it needs automatically.
