Default 32 bit Win10TP and 16 bit programs

Anyone know off hand (so I don't have to try) if the 32 bit version of
Windows 10 TP runs 16 bit Windows programs? and DOS programs?
TIA

Hadn't heard anything about cancelling 16-bit support....

And the 32-bit ISO is available for download. You can test it using
Virtualbox or VirtualPC.

I have 32 bit win 10 TP installed on a small separate SSD

I just tested a dos program - Professional Write.

It works fine just as in windows 7 and 8

One has to tinker with the shortcut properties on the desktop to get a bigger
window
With win 7 and 8 I can only get a bigger window with a shortcut
to a batch file.
