Windows 7, at least the 64bit version, will not run Win16 programs. Ran into that limitation trying to install some old software from the Win98 days that was still using essentially a Win3.1 installer.

That's not really Win16 support. It's like saying it supports DOS because it can run DOSBox.

64-bit x86 processors running in "long mode" can't be put into "virtual 8086 mode".
