If you are a beginner, focus on one or what is the reason to use both?
Visual Studio should give you all you need, even a regexp library.

Simple because creating libraries for maybe unsupported environments
is a pretty hard task in most cases and nothing a beginner should
start with. Multithreading yes or no, 32 or 64 Bit, missing
dependencies, headers, declarations, functions etc., release vs. debug
libs and so on...

PCRE comes with CMake projects, it may be enough to just download
cmake, run it and see what happens. It wasn't enough for my Borland
Builder, for example. On April, 25.th Tom Fortman posted the attached
make file for Visual Studio 2005, they maybe more on the mailing
list. If nothing present fits you're needs you have to build the
library on you own and therefore need to learn how to do that in
general with your version of Visual Studio and then integrate that in
your project. Normally there are assistants to build libraries where
you create a project, choose source files, define some macros etc.
and see what happens.
