I would strongly recommend that folks do themselves a favor and convert (to a VM) any physical windows PC if it's running an old EOL version of Windows and old software. When you buy a new PC be sure to buy something that can run the virtual machine side by side with your host operating system as needed. Otherwise you're going to find it increasingly challenging to get old software to run on newer versions of Windows. It may be possible to get it running properly but there are no guarantees and you might have one hell of a time trying. My own stuff would probably cease to exist right now if it wasn't all running in a VM. Tying anything with legacy code to physical hardware anymore is just russian roulette, it's only a matter of time before the hardware fails.
