I really like the virtualization idea a lot but the other option is to find an
older computer available or something made to match a legacy computer. There
was a $100 NT computer on E-bay this morning but it might not have the right
adapters for your instrument.
I have the same issue for Windows XP computers and I was able to find a new box
for very little money. Substituting SSD for HDD (if this works) should help
extend the operating life a lot.
NIXSYS seems to have options as well though more expensive.
My two cents!
