Whatever you do, DO NOT FORMAT THOSE FLOPPIES!

Never format a disk that has data or software on it, if a Windows OS (or Mac OS) tells you to do so!

As I understand it, DOS programs cannot run under 64-bit Windows without something like Dosbox. There are plenty of Dosbox tutorials on the web and video tutorials on YouTube.

If you have multiple install floppies, you will might need to "install" the software onto another disk before the software runs.

I think you could also boot FreeDos from a USB flash drive and run the software.

By the way, it's a good idea to backup each floppy to its own directory on a hard drive.
