Have a look at https://devguide.python.org/ to get started

contributing to CPython, and in particular
https://devguide.python.org/setup/#windows for getting set up on
Windows.

To answer your questions in brief, though: we use the latest MSVC
compiler available with Visual Studio 2017, which links to the
"universal CRT" and avoids most of the old headaches of
incompatibilities between the runtimes used by different compiler
versions.
