Well... Windows 10 have the record of the being the only windows that breaks backwards compatibility sometimes. I saw Visual Basic 5/6 applications stooping to work because Microsoft break something on a update.

Also, good luck trying to run any Windows 16 bit application on a modern Windows 64 bit installation.

The officially supported method is to have Windows 10 (32 bit) running in HyperV. There is no 16 bit support in Windows 10 64bit builds.
