    Hello,

    To use Windows CE on Windows 10, you can consider using an emulator or a virtual machine. Here are some steps you can follow:

    Emulator: You can use an emulator like Windows CE Emulator, which allows you to run Windows CE applications on your Windows 10 machine. You can download the emulator from the Microsoft website and install it on your computer. Once installed, you can configure the emulator to run your Windows CE applications.

    Virtual Machine: Another option is to use a virtual machine. You can create a virtual machine using software like VirtualBox or VMware and install Windows CE on it. This will allow you to run Windows CE applications in a virtual environment on your Windows 10 machine.

    Compatibility Mode: If the software is not too old, you might be able to run it in compatibility mode. Right-click on the executable file of the software, go to Properties, and under the Compatibility tab, select an older version of Windows that the software was designed for.

    IoT Core: If your application is designed for IoT devices, you might consider using Windows 10 IoT Core, which is designed to run on small devices and can support some Windows CE applications.

    You can’t run Windows CE directly on Windows 10 because they are different systems. But you can use an emulator to run Windows CE. For example, try using a virtual machine like VirtualBox or QEMU. Install a Windows CE image on it, and you can use your old software there.

    If you enjoy old software and games, you might also like emulators like My Boy GBA Emulator for playing GameBoy Advance games on Android devices. Emulators are great for bringing older programs and games back to life.
