A Windows Legacy

I have a Money program from W98 era (all transactions since 1999!) on XP but which woudn't run in W7 64-bit as it is a 16-bit program.
I thought I'd give it a try on Linx 8 Windows 8.1 (32-bit) - up came message "requires NTVDM > Install"
From a Google Search - NTVDM > Windows NT Virtual DOS Machine runs 16-bit Windows and 16-bit/32-bit DOS applications.

In W8.1 Control Panel > Programs & Features > Turn Windows Features On/Off > Legacy > tick NTVDM & it's installed from the OS.
My Money program now runs on my Linx 8
The same option might also be in W10 32-bit.
