I run vim inside tmux. Tmux has a "vim" mode copy paste system where you can use vim movement commands to copy. There are config options to tmux that allow the use of clip.exe which is available under WSL to send to the clipboard. It's not perfect and actual vim clipboard is not connected, you have to use the tmux system, but you also get the advantage of using the tmux terminal multiplexor which gives you a consistent reliable environment everywhere. If you're interested request in a comment and I'll post an answer describing the setup.

Otherwise, I think How to “copy to clipboard” in vim of Bash on Windows? can help you out. There's a few solutions that don't require installing an X server on Windows. | |

Can you use clip.exe to access the clipboard from WSL? If so, select the lines visually them run :w !clip.exe. (Source for the clip.exe suggestion: raymondcamden.com/2017/10/19/…)

If you don't want vim to handle your mouse so you can still highlight and copy as you would anything else from the terminal, you should be able to :set mouse=
