C++ is an extension to C… staying current with Visual Studio releases will help. Microsoft has been making lots of enhancements trying to catch up to the current C/C++ standards.
I wouldn't use the full fat Visual Studio. Far better off using VS Code and the Windows port of clang. You will get IntelliSense and all the usual stuff that's useful + the clangd language server which will lint your code as you type.
I use the Windows Subsystem for Linux for all of my work bar Eclipse Plugins which I try and avoid anyway. All C/C++, Java, Python development is done using a Jetbrain's IDE connected to WSL using Linux binaries. IMO, using Windows to develop code to run on *nix systems isn't a very good idea now that WSL. PowerShell might be awesome for Windows weenies but I prefer the predictability of a UNIX shell like zsh or the venerable bash on old systems. It's remarkable how similar zCX containers are to WSL :)
