I am an IT technician, mainly focused on Windows, but I have also several years as a Linux sysadmin on my CV.
Now, you need to remember that Linux and Wondows have vastly different stratergies for how they work.
Linux, as you say, will allow you to view and service every part of it, as long as you know how, Windows on the other hand is more like a black box, you need to use special tools to get through the cover and access the information you may need.
Powershell is your friend, I have only written batchfiles, bash scripts and Powershell scripts for managing systems, and out of these I find Poweshell the easiest.
365… Microsoft loves to hide settings in the web UI, there are plenty of settings you can only set through Powershell.
VSCode is the best editor for Powershell as far as I am concerned, I highly recommend that you use it.

You could just have asked nicely.
