Well, I don't have 11 but I assume it is similar to Windows 10 in its compatibility layers. Any DOS-based title would be impossible to run natively, so DOSbox is in those cases the best alternative. And there are several flavors of DOSbox to be found out there, some more advanced than others. I see there are some references to a program called vDOS, but I have no experience with it myself.

For running anything requiring Windows 3.11 to Windows 98, I would say VMware is your best option. It is perfect for the task, and generally I have found an Win XP install in VMware to be the stablest, fastest and most compatible OS to work with.
