This is perfect: "I've got a new drive with W10 64 bit OS going."
All you do is set that as the Boot drive.
"I've installed a 32 bit W7 OS as an Oracle virtual machine"
You can also leave both drives, and use a routine that Pauses at start up (at the BIOS) allowing you to select which drive to use to Boot the OS.
It should not have been this hard, though. W10 runs DOS routines fine. Look at the google results:
run ms dos program in windows 10 64 bit
As for printing, you didn't mention if that is an old printer or not and if it worked before and if it works from the normal W10 OS side; are both ends Parallel connector? If so, you might try a cable for USB at the computer end that handles the parallel data for you. When connecting older equipment to a W10 system, there are missing components no longer on the motherboard, so the cable ends have the port hardware "micro" in them.
