Using virtualization for older software allows it to run in a controlled and isolated environment, reducing the risk of compatibility issues and minimizing the impact on the host operating system. This method also helps in maintaining the operational status of critical applications that cannot be easily replaced or upgraded. Adding a new hardware component is not a sufficient reason because it doesn't address issues with the outdated software itself.
