    So will this windows 16bit app run on windows 64OS?

    You can only run 32-bit and 64-bit apps natively. I can run OLX
    under 64-bit Windows 10 as I have DOSbox with WfW 3.11 set up.

    Thanks Sean


    You can run Win 16-bit app this way too:

    As the title says WineVDM allows you to run Win 16-bit apps on 64-bit Windows.

    The YT video explains everything quite well.

    I think this is a very barebones proof of concept that lets you run old
    Windows Minesweeper and Solitaire but not much else.
