Dec 13, 2015 8:17 AM in response to saleswareby Loner T,You have the option of installing a Virtualization engine (Fusion, Parallels, VirtualBox) and running W10 32-bit with the assumption that your application does not need direct hardware access.
Your 2009 Mac does not support W10. Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support lists the supported models.

Dec 14, 2015 5:40 AM in response to saleswareby Christian Stueben,To run 16bit Windows programs, you definitely need Windows XP. This is the latest version of Windows that supports 16bit programms. All later Windows versions expect the programms to be at least 32 bit. Even the 32 Bit Win Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 expect 32 bit programms.
In my opinion, your best option would be to run Windows XP in a virtual machine like VMWare Fusion or Parallels. I myself have a Windows XP still surviving under Fusion.
But keep in mind, Microsoft Support for XP has ended, you can install it but you can´t upgrade/patch your XP installation, so virus and malware protection depends solely on your own prudence and precautions!
