GE Stephen,

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.
