There are lots of other ways you can do your work with out use of EDIT command.If you insists to work with EDIT command in 64bit OS ,there are lots of other ways .
Here is the simple one

  • As EDIT is a 16bit App and it is not directly supported by 64bit OS . So you have to use an intermediate s/w which works as abridge between 16 bit App and 64bit OS. That is DOS BOX.
  • You can download the DOSBOX here
  • After installing DOS BOX  download the 16bit EDIT App here 
or 
you can copy EDIT file from neighbors 32 bit windows computer. you can locate EDIT here C:\Windows\System32
  • Place the EDIT.EXE & Edit Help files in the application folder(i.e. for which application you want to use EDIT command, for example if you want to use Edit command in 8086 programming then place edit.exe in tasm folder)
  • Open the DOS BOX , type the following commands.
mount c yourfolderpathhere( example: mount c d:\downloads)



press enter,  then type

c:
press enter , then type

edit
press enter .

now edit command window will be opened.
DOS BOX can do a lot of things, will be posted soon...........
