Windows 10: Is it possible to run something in Windows 10 using compatibility mode?

Hello,I'm currently running Windows 11 on my device, and there is a certain program that only works the way I need it to on Windows 10. I've tried using older versions of Windows in the compatibility settings, but the program doesn't work properly. Windows 10 doesn't show up on the drop down list of operating systems in the compatibility tab of properties, so is there any way to set it so that a program will run as if it is in Windows 10?
