it has only exe file, no iso file, you need Windows

You picked the wrong file to download. Go back to the
https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/
page and read the text in the corner of the browser
window as the mouse hovers over the big blobs.
The second blob down goes to
https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/seatools-legacy-support-master/
Here you will find graphical and text versions that
are bootable ISOs which run under FreeDOS:
https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/support-content/downloads/seatools/_shared/downloads/SeaToolsDOS223ALL.ISO
and
https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/support-content/downloads/seatools/_shared/downloads/SeaToolsDOS112.ISO
with instructions:
https://www.seagate.com/files/staticfiles/support/downloads/seatools/seatools-dos-guide.pdf
Download those.

Thank you for finding the old ISO versions (I recall using those in the past). Given the age of the OP's computers, there is a god chance he has an optical drive. Hopefully, it works.
