Welcome @kkm .  
Yes, as you said, just double click the `julia.exe` in bin.  
If you want something to install don’t download portable but the (installer). Or, you may use `juliaup` which is what you get if you search for Julia in the Windows Store but i recommend for now just use what you have (to avoid confusion at the beginning).

On Windows the easiest thing to do is using [JuliaWin](https://github.com/heetbeet/juliawin).

No, that’s what nice about [JuliaWin](https://github.com/heetbeet/juliawin), it works out of the box.  
Everything was configured for you. Just fire up VS Code (Installed with it) and everything is hooked up.
