It works on most Vista-era PCs, and if you have room on your hard drive, you can put it in a new partition and keep your Vista setup intact, in case you have software that won't run on newer equipment. Another approach if you can spare the cash is to get a second PC. You can can get an entire 64-bit Win 10 Pro system for $149, less than the cost of a stand-alone 10 Pro license ($199):

HP 6200 Desktop Computer Refurbished; Intel Core i3-2100 Processor 3.1GHz; Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit; 4GB DDR3 RAM; 500GB Hard Drive: $149.99
