Cmd and powershell exist and have done for a long time. There was a period of time where the visual C++ compiler was bundled with the IDE but it’s been available separately for the best part of a decade. Various incarnations of gnu-on-windows have existed for longer than that - Msys/cygwin/wsl are all feasible options and have been for ages. But, none of them come preinstalled.
