I recommend that you follow exactly whatever Skywater
has suggested. If you choose your own adventure, you
may not get the adventure you chose. If need be, get a
laptop and flip it to Linux. Or use your Windows machine
to VNC to some server where things are already set up
right.
I've used the WSL and determined that straight Linux is
a better idea for doing open source tools based IC design.
Clean and lean are your friends. A sandbox situated in the
middle of bloatware is probably not. Wasn't, for me.
