Run them with wine on Linux or search the internet to check if others have tried running that software under Wine. I had very good luck with small, single-purpose software.
Reading stories in which MS shoots itself in the foot, I am so glad there are 0 Windows 11 installations at home and Windows 10 installations are old (up to date but every install is at least 1 year old) so they don't become enshittified.
