I've always ran VB6 IDE natively (my colleagues always preferred to spin up XP virtual machines, as they perceived it to be less effort. Actually more effort, more bloat, and having to move files from/to was a pain.) you can find various guides on the net on how to install VB6 on your target OS

Not everything (e.g.: MSDN) is going to work.
On Win 7 you will probably need to disable some graphical composition features in compatibility properties.
On Win 10 just set compatibility mode to XP SP3, surprisingly the IDE runs much much smoother than on 7

Don't set the IDE to full screen, if you need it resize the window to be as big as possible.

*** If you meant VB.NET, you'll have to download the whole visual studio thing (VS Community for example)

VB6 works fine. I don't know where to download it, I can put it on my ftp in extreme cases.

.... On Win 10 just set compatibility mode to XP SP3, surprisingly the IDE runs much much smoother than on 7 ....
However, Windows 10 constantly reminds me at startup (VS6.0) that there is a new version, and I don’t know how to disable it so as not to accidentally click it.

Windows 10 is very tricky. It sometimes offers to update, but always asks "allow this program...". And out of habit, you can click Yes. Now I launched it and it didn't ask.
