WSL2: Launch powershell command from emacs

Question

Hi,

My IDE/text editor is emacs. I installed wsl2 and followed this repo to set up emacs on wsl.

I am working on an automation pipeline, so the code must be executed from powershell (access to windows programs, pyautogui etc.).

I still do my editing from emacs, so my files are in wsl filesystem. I know I can access them from windows, and could manually open a powershell and execute the script using the correspending wsl path.

My question is: can I use powershell directly from emacs? Emacswiki link seem obsolete (powershell.el is from 2010) and couldn't find any trivial way to launch my automation load directly from emacs.

Any tips are very welcomed.

Thanks!
