Can I open the 16-bit applications in Windows 8?

Hi MS support team,

I have a request for information with respect to a 16-bit application (made for the previous version of windows) running in Windows 8. The request is normally done using the old MS-DOS program in previous versions of windows. But when I opened the application using BACK of Windows 8 (64 bit) program, I got an error because of the incompatibility of the 16-bit application with the windows 64-bit versions. I also tried to run directly from Windows, but he did not. Attached below are pictures of the error and the properties.

Is there a method to open this application in the platform BACK of Windows 8? Or other methods to run this application?

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards

Jimmy

64-bit Windows 8 cannot run 16-bit programs. the only way to do
you want is to install a virtual machine and run it.

If possible, the best solution would be to get a newer 32 - bit or
64-bit version of the program.
