WSL2 should get you going?

That's what I would suggest as well. WSL2 and use asdf[1] to manage the erlang/elixir versions.

You could also use containers pretty easily as well with docker or podman for windows and the official Elixir images[2].

WSL2, while amazing technology, is a resource hog and still a bit buggy in my experience. I use it w/ linux from time to time when I don't have a choice, but when I'm coding, it just feels like a hyper-bloated IDE.
