I know Windows 11 runs on 64-bit programming. Is it possible to run 32-bit programs on Windows 11? I have a really old DVD I would like to keep and watch it now and in the future.

    You may use DVD tools from Microsoft Store for playing, e.g., Any DVD.

    What happens when you insert the DVD into the disk tray? What do you have chosen in the Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Auto Play? See image below.

    Do you know how the movie was saved, is it a, .wmv, .mov, etc.?
