In walking through Get started using Visual Studio Code with Windows Subsystem for Linux I had already installed VS Code and did not,
When prompted to Select Additional Tasks during installation, be sure to check the Add to PATH option so you can easily open a folder in WSL using the code command.
what are the steps needed to accomplish this now after the fact?

Hello, Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio are different products, I will remove the “Visual Studio” tag.
For questions about Visual Studio Code, you can post it to the GitHub-vscode forum where you would get support for this product. Thanks for your understanding.
Hi , you can add the vs code directory to path by using the windows environment variables.
Search for Edit environment variables and open the path variable. Add vs code directory to the path folder.For example, on Windows, VS Code is installed under AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin.
