Hello, in my opinion the best option at the moment is:

VS Code (Visual Studio Code)
PlatformIO IDE
Then, you can install the ESP32 boards and Arduino core

In my courses, I don’t show that additional step, because I don’t want to make it confusing and having people choosing between those two options. It’s easier to give support and explain in a single programming environment.

In my day-to-day use, I actually use VS Code and PlatformIO IDE.

Regards,

Rui

I’ve never had any problem running VSCode + PlatformIO IDE in Windows 10. Let me know your results!
