Can i change windows 10 to windows 98 and keep all the files i had, then turn it back to like it was before?

I wanna play and old game but it dosent work on windows 10, and the version closest to its release was windows 98.
 
Solution
Run the old games using compatibility mode in Windows 10.
i.e: Right click game executable>Compatibility tab>Windows 98, Run as Administrator>Apply>OK.

Then either double click the executable.
Windows 98 is almost twenty years (and like six releases, and two architectures) behind Windows 10, so you can't just "switch back". For starter, there won't be Win98 drivers for your hardware.

The way to run old software (games including) is to install Win98 inside a virtual machine, and install them there.
