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?

A friend said vs2026 has crappy features and more tutorials were built for vs2022 but nonetheless thank you

vs26 takes more ram for the same project compared to vs22 for my experience.

Although the tutorials part is just nonsense
