What is the difference between Visual Studio Professional 2026 and Visual Studio Professional 2022?

The main difference between Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 Professional and 2022 Professional lies in performance upgrades, native AI integration, and support for newer frameworks such as .NET 10. Visual Studio 2026, released in November 2025, introduces an "AI-native" IDE with tools such as enhanced Copilot, while the 2022 version focuses on enhancements such as the 64-bit IDE and basic IntelliCode. Both Professional editions offer similar features such as CodeLens and advanced debugging, but do not differ in licensing or usage scenarios.

Adds code coverage for all Professional editions, .NET 10 migration tool and extended support for C++26 and cloud (Docker, Kubernetes).
