Best way to run 32 bit programs like old mathcad 7 (not prime) on windows 11

[JohnCraftMoo1910]

I have a new win 11 machine that won't install old 32 bit mathcad 7. 

What is the best way to make my win 11 be able to switch to win xp to run these old programs?

Thanks

John

@JohnCraftMoo1910Apparently this came out in 1997, so you would probably need the VC++ 6.0 Redistributable ( UCRT? ) / VB 6 Common Controls, and possibly even .NET 1.x-2.x Framework ( superseded by the .NET 3.5 Framework,) although it may or may not have had updates past a certain point:

On Windows 10 / 11: Right-click on the following batch file after saving it, and click "Run as administrator".

NOTE: Having written programs back in the 1990s, I'm well aware of the fact that even having the dependencies installed, you might have to run it in compatibility mode ( I honestly don't think that would be necessary, but I don't own MathCAD or any of the newer variations of this program, so I can't test it for you. ) Everything back then was just a Windows Forms Application with OLE / ActiveX, and some custom controls written in-house. You can do the EXACT same things even on Visual Studio 2017 / 2019 and have it run on something as old as Windows 98 SE, but app would have to target the .NET framework version 2.0, so you'd be stuck with VS 2017 probably, and maybe C# 7.3 or something. It would be like WinPE ( no WPF controls, ) but less far less functional. You would still have access to classes and inheritance so it's not a big deal. If you can't fine-tune the compiler output to select an older PE32 executable format, then you'd have to switch to an older version of Visual Studio, maybe even try something like Embarcadero C++ Builder Community Edition, or MinGW / GCC in a cross-compilation environment like MYSYS2.
