The language on Google Lighthouse [developers.google.com] seems to say so.
They say you need to use Chrome DevTools and then they offer a link to download "Chrome for Desktop."

You're in luck, Chrome 67 was released today and includes this feature. So just update your Chrome browser and you should find a Mobile/Desktop switch in the Audits panel.

thanks for the info, I updated chrome, but how do you perform audits for desktop resolutions?

Open Developer Tools, click the Audits panel, change "Mobile" to "Desktop", then click the plus sign at the far left to run an audit.

I found, where it is written responsive create new emulated device with the desired resolution and set desktop.
in dock side better to put dock to bottom at least you can see full page in desktop version.
I have tested resolutions from 768x1024 to 1920x1080 and gives me error for the font size small also for 768x1024 12 px.
must you also put 768x1024 font size at 16px?

If you click the recommendation "Document doesn't use legible font sizes", you'll find that it says "Font sizes less than 16px are too small to be legible and require mobile visitors to 'pinch and zoom' in order to read." It's part of the SEO audit, so it's not desktop-specific.
Lots of good stuff in these audits!

the only problem I have is font-size.
apply the mobile rules on the desktop but what is the use?
what font-size do you use for resolutions> 768px?

If you run the audit in Mobile mode and you don't get that suggestion, there's no problem.
Don't get hung up on getting a perfect score, it doesn't mean anything. Test & be critical.

for mobile I have font-size: 1em no problem.
I had a 50% drop in visitors between December and January, I'm trying to figure out why

The mobile font-size test allows you to keep some parts of the content with a size <1em or <16px, if most of the content is small by mistake, if it is a small part of the content the test is not error.
I noticed this thing by chance I had the 0.9em menu but did not give me an error.

Right. After all, not all text is equally important.
To diagnose traffic loss, I'd start at the source. If it's organic search, find out where exactly your rankings dropped, then see if you can discover a pattern. Mobile-friendliness is just one part of a large equation. Look critically at your content and compare it to pages that do rank well.

all organic traffic
I'm doing technical improvements and testing on content.
Only with technical improvements went from -55% to -37%.
(there have been many updates since the beginning of the year in the algorithm maybe the changes I made are worth 0)
