So my question is this: is there any way to temporarily install Windows 7 on my PC without it impacting on my current OS? Note, I do NOT want to dual boot. This is simply a one-off, to allow me to get into the prog, copy the files and convert them, and then uninstall Win 7, but I don't want to do it if afterwards the system is looking for Win 7 and won't run Win 10, or if it causes any issues with my current OS.
So, any advice?

If you do a clean install of Win7, you should be able to 'upgrade' to Win10 with no issues.
As far as that Lotus software, there's some interesting info here regarding installing it through Safe Mode as well as a few other attempts:

What a pita though. I hope you have all your data files backed up.
