I don't understand the question? Unless you are trying to run something from Windows 3.1, anything made for Windows (from XP upwards practically) should run on Windows 10. What exactly are you looking for?

Unless you're trying to run 16-bit applications or mac software, Windows 10 is probably gonna run anything you try on it.
What are you looking for suggestions for?
Games?
Office Software?[openoffice ftw]

Um other handy free applications for windows?
Game dev related:
Tiled (external level editor), visual studio, gimp (free alternative to photoshop), audacity (simple audio editing), Source Tree (version control).

General:
Open Office (free office package), Malware Bytes (solid anti malware), Fraps or OBS (screen recorders), CCleaner (handy tool for clearing out junk temp files), WinRar (archiving tool, supports all sorts of formats). Acrobat reader (pdf viewer). Discord (gaming focused voip client).


Web stuff:
Filezilla (ftp client), Brackets (lightweight code editor, mostly web focused tho), wampserver (virtual server)

For a free MS Office replacement, Libre Office. Avoid Open Office, because it is pretty much a dead project (Libre Office is the "fresh" off-shoot of Open Office, and very well supported and developed)

Avoid the Adobe Reader, and install an alternative instead. PDF Exchange Editor is my preferred one, and the free version even includes various free functionality which is normally only available in commercial PDF software. Super fast as well.

Excellent code editors: Visual Studio Code, Atom, Notepad++

Drawing/painting software: Krita (which include G'MIC effects)

Image editing: GIMP, Krita

Pixel art editors: GraphicsGale. Or AseSprite, because you probably know how to build apps since you are used to Linux (AseSprite is free if you build it yourself).

3D software: Without a doubt Blender.

Vector drawing: InkScape, but LibreOffice also includes a drawing app which includes a diagram editor.

Game Dev: Tiled, Godot Engine, Materialize, Git, SmartGit

Animation: OpenToonz, Krita, Davinci Resolve, DJV Imaging, DragonBones

Screen grabbing and recording: Greenshot, OBS Studio, FRAPS

Sound and music editing: Audacity, Reaper (indefinite trial, full functionality), LMMS. Scores of free VST instruments online.

Video editing: Davinci Resolve, Handbrake

Office: LibreOffice, PDF Exchange Editor, SumatraPDF

Media playing: VLC Player, Winamp,

Web Dev: XAMPP and/or WAMP, MySQL Workbench, Visual Studio Code, Firefox Developer, Filezilla, GIT, SmartGit, Nodejs/npm and all that jazz

Misc other tools: Irfanview and XNView (image viewers), ColorQuantizer for image optimization, DJV Imaging (Real-time image sequence and movie playback), 7-zip (archive tool)

Save your health utilities: PangoBrightness, f.lux

Windows system utilities: ProcessExplorer, Autorun, HWmonitor

Games: Too many to list. Install Steam, install emulators, visit abandoneware sites, and go from there.

A very handy all-in-one software installation tool to speed up installation of a list of mentioned tools is Ninite:

This should get you started.

May as well tell him to go back to GNU/Linux cause 95% of what you've listed is free software (except for some like InfranView, but seriously? InfranView? come on.)

He didn't pay $139 for Windows 10 in order to be free.

Here's my list:
  • MS Office: MS Office itself ($549)
  • PDF Reader: Adobe reader (Only thing free of charge on this list)
  • Code editors: Visual Studio ($1,199 initially, then $799/yr)
  • Drawing/Painting: Adobe Photoshop ($287/yr)
  • Image editing: Adobe Photoshop (again)
  • Pixel art editor: Adobe Photoshop (yet again)
  • 3D modeling: 3ds max ($2,032/yr) and Maya (also $2,032/yr)
  • Vector drawing: Adobe Illustrator ($287/yr like Photoshop)
  • Game Development: Unity ($1,500/yr), Game Maker Studio (also $1,500/yr)
  • Video recording: Camtasia ($261)
  • Sound and music editing: FL Studio ($810/yr)
  • Video editing: Sony Vegas Pro ($898)
  • Windows System Utilities: All Piriform tools ($40)
  • Games: Anything from EA that's riddled with micro-transactions on Origin (e.g. Star Wars Battlefront, costs $6.25. Also Anthem.)
  • Misc other tools: Variety of toolbars once you pirate all of these.
  • Save your health utilities: Don't.
