Hi ManojBaini,

I am afraid Windows 10 is compatible with VB6.
Here is the link for reference(check system requirements):
Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0, Visual C++ 6.0 with Visual Source Safe 6.0d
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9183

You`d better use the later Windows 10 compatible version such as the Visual Studio 2015.
Visual Studio 2015 Compatibility
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-2015-compatibility-vs.aspx

However, I hope the following link will be useful.
