If there are older programs that you simply can't abandon then the answer is a virtual machine. Download Virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/ (or the free version of VMware if you prefer) and instal a copy of your preferred OS in a virtual machine. I did this for a friend recently who was still using a DOS program that wouldn't run in W10. I used XP for the VM as copies are readily available. Could have used W98 or W2K equally well in this case.
A nice trick with VMs is that they are portable. I built this XP VM on a W7 PC, copied it on to a memory stick and took it over to my friend.
