Can the MacBook Pro (16-inch, M2 Max, 2023) run Visual Studio 2022?
Not compatible
No — it doesn't meet Visual Studio 2022's minimum requirements. Visual Studio 2022 lists 64-bit Windows 11 (Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations, Enterprise, Education; ARM64 supported) or Windows Server 2016/2019/2022/2025 as its supported platform in the publisher's requirements, and the MacBook Pro (16-inch, M2 Max, 2023) runs macOS.
We did not judge the CPU, GPU, RAM — only components we can verify are counted. This result stands regardless of them.
Component by component (minimum)
CPU
This laptop: not determined · Required: ARM64 or x64 processor; quad-core or better recommended
Why not judged: There is no verified way to compare processors by name, so the CPU is shown for reference but not marked as meeting or missing the requirement.
GPU
This laptop: not determined · Required: Video card supporting at least 1366 x 768 (best at 1920 x 1080 or higher)
Why not judged: There is no verified way to compare graphics chips by name, so the GPU is shown for reference but not marked as meeting or missing the requirement.
RAM
This laptop: not determined · Required: 4 GB
Why not judged: This laptop is sold with different amounts of RAM (or has upgradeable slots), so we can't tell how much yours has.
Storage
This laptop: not determined · Required: not specified
Why not judged: The publisher's requirements don't specify the storage.
Operating system
This laptop: macOS · Required: 64-bit Windows 11 (Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations, Enterprise, Education; ARM64 supported) or Windows Server 2016/2019/2022/2025
“Not judged” means we lack verified information for that component. It never means the laptop fails it.
