How do I open a VB6 project in Windows 10?

Right click on the file and select "Open With" and select your visual studio program. It may need to be converted and if so, it will prompt you to convert the project.

Is Visual Basic 6.0 still used?

The final release was version 6 in 1998. On April 8, 2008, Microsoft stopped supporting Visual Basic 6.0 IDE. The Microsoft Visual Basic team still maintains compatibility for Visual Basic 6.0 applications through its "It Just Works" program on supported Windows operating systems.

The first link only applies to apps that require certification - it does not relate to what is actually supported, only what is recommended.

The second link clearly states the VB6 runtime is supported in Windows 10.

VB6 runtime will ship and will be supported in Windows 10 for the lifetime of the OS
