It's actually built into Windows and is called "compatibility mode". It works to get some programs running, others it won't. Won't hurt to try, though.
If you are in Win7, right click the .exe file, choose properties, then choose the compatibility tab, then choose your compatibility mode. If it's an old 16 or 32 bit program, you should have choices as far back as Win95. If it's a fairly modern program, you will be limited to Server 2008, Vista, etc.
I think it's the same way for Win10, but I stay away from Win8/8.1 and Win10 as much as possible. They suck about as much as Vista...more in some ways. I don't recall how to get there on WinXP, but it's built into it too.
