Why to care about existing version? It is perfectly possible to configure
with default prefix /usr/local and call "make install" at the end. New
[g]vim will happily live in /usr/local/bin and it's runtime files also
somewhere in /usr/local. Last thing is in your .profile or .bashrc or
whatever shell you prefer: "export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH" - that way
local bin will be first and running vim or gvim you will always get your
own "local" version. May be even /usr/local/bin is already in your PATH,
because it so common, please check

(Repeat part with PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH for all users with which you
may login to wsl, eg root?)

With best regards, Anton
