It has been my experience that when it comes to trying to find work around for a program to work in an OS that the OEM of the program won't support, tends to mean some functionality may be broken. Depending on the hardware of your computer will determine how well that work as it is shared resources. That way you don't lose your Win 10 install. My best suggestion would be to run whatever version of Windows that it did work in a VM. Unless you do a clean install of that old Win OS wiping out your Win 10 install. I don't think you are able to roll back to whatever previous version of Windows that you had as going to Win 10 is a mandatory update at the beginning of the year.
