You can try the Windows 11 Compatibility Mode to install, but no guarantees it will work on your system.

On Windows 11, you can enable Compatibility Mode for an old program in at least two ways, Manually and Automatically.

Manual Compatibility Mode

To configure an old app to run on Windows 11, use these steps:

1. Open Start on Windows 11.
2. Search for the old application, right-click the top result, and select the “Open file location” option.
3. Right-click the app (executable) and choose the Properties option.
4. Click the Compatibility tab.
5. Check the “Run this program in compatibility mode” option in the “Compatibility mode” setting and select the compatibility mode, including Windows 95, 98, XP, Vista, 7, or 8.
6. (Optional) Check the “Reduced color mode” option and choose one of the available options, 8- or 16-bit. Quick note: You would only use this feature if the problem is related to graphics.
7. (Optional) Check the “Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution” option if the program was designed for old technology displays.
8. (Optional) Check the “Run this program as an administrator” option if the application doesn’t work with standard permissions.
9. Click the Apply button.
10. Click the OK button.

Automatic Compatibility Mode

To use the Compatibility Troubleshooter to make an old program compatible with Windows 11, use these steps:

1. Open Start.
2. Search for the old application, right-click the top result, and select the “Open file location” option.
3. Right-click the app (executable) and choose the Properties option.
4. Click the Compatibility tab.
5. Click the “Run compatibility troubleshooter” button.
6. Click the Compatibility tab.
7. Click the “Run compatibility troubleshooter” button.
8. Confirm whether the old program works as intended on Windows 11.
9. Click the “Yes, save these settings for this program” option. Or click the “No, try again using different settings” option if the app still doesn’t work correctly.
10. After you complete the steps, the old program should be able to operate normally on Windows 11.

Alternatively, you can also run the troubleshooter from Settings > System > Troubleshoot> Other troubleshooters, click the “Run” button for the “Program Compatibility Troubleshooter” option, select the program, and continue with the wizard to enable compatibility mode.

Although this feature should make virtually any application compatible with the operating system, it’s not always the case. If you must continue running an application designed for an old version of Windows, consider creating a virtual machine with the required version of the operating system and then installing the old program for better compatibility.
