Downloading and Installing Microsoft Visio
Please note that this software is only compatible with Microsoft Windows operating system. If you're using a modern M-series processor Mac, you won't be able to run Windows or Visio on it due to incompatible processor architecture. You will need to use a PC instead, or connect to a remotely-available Windows system with Visio and use it there instead.
