Need some good tech advice here.
A long, long time ago (but not in a galaxy far far away) I wrote some stuff using Lotus Word Pro. Recently I went back to that writing and was working on it. I was able to reinstall the program and use it. Now though I have upgraded to Windows 10 and the program won't install.

So my question is this: is there any way to temporarily install Windows 7 on my PC without it impacting on my current OS? Note, I do NOT want to dual boot. This is simply a one-off, to allow me to get into the prog, copy the files and convert them, and then uninstall Win 7, but I don't want to do it if afterwards the system is looking for Win 7 and won't run Win 10, or if it causes any issues with my current OS.

So, any advice?
