Virtualization is additionally an extraordinary answer for taking care of similarity with more established applications. 

In this article, we investigate a portion of the other virtualization programs out there, and how to introduce and set them up. 

Windows Virtual PC

We investigated introducing and utilizing Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode several years back, so I won't really expound since you can allude to that article for point by point directions.
