If you have some problems with some old 16 bit app..you can down load VirtualBox, it's free, or other “VM” software on your newer pc.. then install the older OS in VirtualBox that will run your older apps

Yep it takes a bit of geek skill but it's really kind of simple once you know what your doing...

A VM is a software “virtual computer” that runs in side your real computer like any other app.. you can the install any OS you want on this new software computer..it like having two different pc in one box at the same time
