  Do you have the install packages of all this software (i.e. not just
the installed version/files)?

  Anyway, as you don't have another system to keep as a backup, make an
image backup of your Windows 10 system and then (try to) upgrade to
Windows 11. If (some of) your software doesn't work on Windows 11, you
can restore the Windows 10 image. Of course any work you did in the
meantime will be lost, but old your old programs and files will still be
there.

  That said: I upgraded my wife's system from Windows 8.1 to 10 (just
after Windows 8.1 went out of support) and all old software still
worked. For my new system, I installed Windows 11 from scratch and then
re-installed all the software I had on my previous Windows 8.1 system,
everything worked (and some of the software is over 20 years old).
