Why IE11 in WIN10 does not contain emulation to EDGE comparing with IE11 on WIN8Server?

We have really old application which run with IE compatibility mode 7. But now, we are about to start using PaloAlto VPN software which supports only IE11. Thus our application does not work via the PA software. Our idea was to run our application with emulation to EDGE, where it works perfectly. But when application is run in IE11 on WIN10, emulation to EDGE does not work simply because there is no possibility to emulate to EDGE on IE11 and WIN10. It works on WIN8Server and older windows, where IE11 enables emulation to EDGE.

Is there any possiblity how to emulate EDGE in IE11 on WIN10?

Are you using the F12 dev tools Emulation tab to emulate Edge in IE 11? If yes, you can refer to this article.

Actually, that's a naming issue. Prior to Windows 10 when the Edge browser started, the compatibility modes listed the latest version (version of that browser) as "Edge" in IE. They renamed that setting when Win10 came out. In the article you can also find:

Edge (Default) represents all the latest standards and features IE11 supports.

In your case, you're emulating Edge in IE 11, so the "Edge" option is IE 11 actually. So you don't need to emulate Edge in IE 11 on Win10, just use IE 11 document mode which is the same thing.
