Windows 10 can run a number of different 'virtual' environments, to host other operating systems or older software which ran best in DOS or earlier Windows versions.
DosBox is one of those 'environments' and you can find out more info about it on P&C by using the Site Search tool to search for 'dosbox' (many of the search results will be in this very forum for older software). Or search in Google directly. Another popular OS environment is VirtualBox, and there are others. Download and install one of them.
Once you have such an environment like DosBox up and running, just install AOdds and use it. I can't remember if there was copy protection involved with AOdds, but if so you have to deal with that too. If not DosBox, then other similar environments can make your computer look exactly as if it's running an older DOS operating system, or an earlier version of Windows.
