Without knowing what you mean by "Old" it's tricky to say.

I use lots of 1980s DOS software on Windows Vista with the aid of VDOS Plus or DOSBox. I use the same things on Linux via DOSEmu.

I notice that the screenshot on Mr Bungle's post only goes back to Windows 95 so Windows 3.1 may be more involved — I can't see anybody wanting to use Windows 1 or 2.

We are assuming that it's old PC software that you are interested in. If it's stuff meant for an Amiga, Atari ST or whatever emulators are available. I can't say how good they are as I've no relevant experience.

There a lot of computer fans interested in this sort of thing so if it can be done you can bet somebody has. Google is your friend.
