Wow, now there's an old version for ya.
Probably, yes, it will run, since it's running on 7.

What I would do, tho: download Open Office. Copy over some of your working documents, and try them out in OO's apps. If that goes fine...and it may well NOT, as conversions like this in either direction can have issues...then you know you can upgrade all your PCs to Win 10 and know you've got a viable fallback. If things don't come out so good in OO, then try upgrading *1* machine and see if Office Antique will run. Remember: for the first month, you can back out of 10 and return to the previous OS.

BUT, the big hog was Windows.old.

OK. Wher I've had issues is when there's extensive formatting, tables, or the like. Or in spreadsheet charts. OO reads Office 2000; it doesn't always maintain formatting 100%.

Then I'd definitely say, go for it on 1 machine, see if you have any issues with Jurassic Office, AND see if you like it.
