====== Windows 11 and other x64 bit Windows OS Information ======

When Microsoft released Windows 11, they decided not to make any more operating systems that support running 16-bit applications by using their NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine) code.

If you want to run your BBS on Windows 11, you must do one of the following:
  * Install a hypervisor and create a virtual machine on top of it
  * Install DOSBox or DOSBox-X
    * DOSBox - [[https://www.dosbox.com/]]
    * DOSBox-X - [[https://dosbox-x.com/]]
    * This will only allow you to run one node per DOSBox/DOSBox-X console session
    * You could run DESQView in a console under DOSBox or DOSBox-X
    * You could install Windows 3.1, 95 or 98 under DOSBox or DOSBox-X
  * Install NTVDMx64 - [[http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/ntvdmx64.html]]
  * Install winevdm - [[http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/otvdm.html]]
