Questions to set up Gnuradio for windows WSL

Dear GNURadio Community,

In the past I had a GNURadio binary running on Windows and was able to access the HackRF hardware via the USB port to Tx/Rx signals. The problem is I could not build OOT modules. I bought a new Windows PC recently and wish to build OOT modules for GNURadio on it and I read that Windows WSL will do the trick, here are my questions:

Q1. Which is best: WSL1 or WSL2 (I read this is like a Virtual Machine)? 

Q2. Running inside WSL1 or WSL2, will I be able to access the USB port directly as before (to Rx/Tx signals via HackRF)?

Thank you!

George
