If you are using Windows, GCC installed on your virtual machine is independant of your primary OS. It seems GCC is installed on your VM. On Ubuntu/Linux, use the following commands to install a GCC compiler:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
Furthermore, Visual Studio is simply a text editor. If you want to compile and execute C/C++ on VS, the simplest way is to compile via Powershell on Windows provided you have GCC installed.
