Do you realize that Windows 10 can run Linux aswell? Also Windows 10 NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine) has an unofficial port to 64bit.

Windows 10 can run Linux in a VM (e.g. Windows Services for Linux, which is a VM these days), and it can run DOS or Windows 3.1 or whatever else in a VM as long as you have virtualization enabled. What it can't do is run native 16-bit segmented code as a regular user mode process. Linux can.

The NTVDM port appears to be a legally dubious emulator.
