MacOS downgrade

I just purchased the MacBook Pro 16". I need Mojave loaded on it. I was told it can't be done but none of my software that I use for my film studios works with Catalina. Is there a way to downgrade from Catalina to Mojave?

No Mac can run an OS that predates the one it shipped with. The only way would be to run Mojave from a virtual machine like Parallels.

You can't install an older version of Mac OS on your machine that shipped with Catalina.

I have found you can not boot an earlier version of OS from even an external drive. Something in the hardware preventing it. I have heard that the Mojave OS was not updated to run on the 2019 16" MacBook Pro or any other earlier versions of OS.
