vm86 doesn't work in 64-bit mode, but you can simply temporarily switch down to 32-bit mode, and them vm86 works just fine. Early amd64 Linux would do this, and there was even a kernel module to do it after they dropped support for it.
Microsoft had other reasons to drop 16-bit support in Windows 64.
