I've played with it a little, there is a new version that supposedly works on Windows 11 and gets around the secure boot stuff - but you have to build it (and track down all the files-it's a "patch"). The built version the (assuming) college kid currently has on his webpage works fine on Windows 10 without secure boot and is easy enough to setup.

It's really cool, but the problem is it's from an NT 4 source code leak and everyone is afraid to host it because of they are afraid of a DCMA takedown (or worse).  I know enough people at MS that I really think MS would have already whacked it if they were going to.  Unfortuately, this NTVDM wasn't even MS code we are talking about, they licenced it from someone else.  So the legal grey area is never going to get better.
