Research direction
Start with doc/user-guide/src/installation/windows-msvc.md at the referenced line and review the surrounding MSVC version guidance. Verify whether Rust and rustup work with Visual Studio 2026, then update the documentation to reflect the result; if support is incomplete, document the limitation and link to a tracking issue.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Problem you are trying to solve
the docs still state that VS 2022 is the latest version:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/9a342e37e7901c8aa9d02f5100420fc1d99176ab/doc/user-guide/src/installation/windows-msvc.md?plain=1#L57
however, VS 2026 has been out for a while now (since november 2025)
i couldn't find any info anywhere on the rust website about the compatibility of rust & VS 2026 (and, admittedly, didn't try it yet - i have VS 2022 installed, after all)
Solution you'd like
the docs are updated for VS 2026. either everything already works with VS 2026, then it's probably enough to just swap out 2022 for 2026 everywhere, otherwise a comment should be added with a link to a tracking issue for full VS 2026 support (though i didn't find any such issue)
