Did MacBook Pro Use the Windows Operating System?

I am looking to purchase a newer year MacBook Pro with a 16 or 17 inch screen. But I thought that maybe Windows operating system was on some of the years that MacBook Pro was made. Is this true? I’m wanting to buy a really good used MacBook Pro with a larger screen for work but not sure what to get and what year to get to keep the price down. Any help would be awesome & appreciated.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Windows does not run natively on a Mac. On older Macs you could install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant or a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, ...

Newer Macs do not support Boot Camp installation of Windows.

My suggestion, get a Windows computer if you need to use Windows in a work environment.
