I still use my Windows 95 CD version of HoMM1 that I bought when it came out, the version that came with the map editor.
I run it in Windows 10 inside a VMWare windows 98 virtual machine. Same as HoMM2.
Everything works fine, including the movies, but not the CD music. ( I play MP3s I ripped from the CD instead)

VMWare workstation 17 player. It's free.

All you need is to find Windows 98 installation files; I can't help you where to find these, I used my original install CDs from back in the day, for that.

You can even copy your VMs across multiple computers, and have your freshly installed VMware use it!
This VM, is the same one I created back in 2013 with my old Windows 7 PC!
