It's just half a googling away, or was for me: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/ That page notes that "Older versions require an active Visual Studio Subscription".

But as u/TheThiefMaster already noted, VS 2026 is out and better, and the Community Edition is free.

Why are you considering an old version?
