But the older the OS, the harder it's going to be to get anything modern working on it. And people do have finite effort and resources.
And frankly, it's just not a great idea anyways. For all the complaints, modern Windows is heaps better than its older counterparts for usage today. It's much better at utilizing modern CPUs, SSDs, GPUs, etc. It has (if imperfect) up to date security measures. More or less everything is out-of-the-box compatible with it. I can't even remember the last time I had something break and it was actually on the Windows end and not an application running on top of it that was the problem.
