   GE Stephen,   
      
    JP>>  The only problem here will be if you try running 16-bit software   
    JP>> on a 64-bit CPU, it will not. I will run on a 32-bit CPU, strange   
    JP>> to say the least. Your option is as you did before, a VM.   
      
    HG> The installed Windows 10 is the 32-bit version, BUT it is running on   
    HG> a 64-bit CPU. Problem solved, none of my old software will run on it.   
      
   SW> A 64bit compatable cpu will run a 32bit OS without issues.   
      
   Yes, but 16-bit software will not run under a 64-bit CPU.   
   THAT is what Jean wrote.   
      
   SW> It will be more of your old software not liking the new OS.   
      
   There may be an exception to the above. Text mode programs seem to work.   
      
   My file manager, ZTreeWin is a text mode program, and it runs OK on a   
   32-bit Win10 under a 64-bit CPU.   
      
   I will later install the TSEjr (ex QEdit) and/or TSECON44 editors.   
   As far as I can see they are also text mode programs.   
      
   I can use both QEdit/2 v3.0 and TSE (The Semware Editor), under OS/2.   
   The TSE v1.0 is really a DOS program, hi.   
      
   All the QEdit related editors can be configured to mimic any of the   
   old editors, such as WordStar, WordPerfect, Borland, etc.
