Answer 1

If Visual Studio is NOT your thing, and instead you are using VS Code, then this link will guide you thru the installer to get C++ running on your Windows.

You only needs to complete the Pre-Requisites part. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-msvc/#_prerequisites

This is similar with other answers, but this link will probably age better than some of the responses here.

PS: don't forget to run pip install --upgrade setuptools
