A company has an outdated application that is crucial for their accounting department. The application is no longer compatible with current operating systems. Which solution will allow the accounting department to continue using this application without downgrading their current operating systems?
Access a remote machine that has not been updated to the new operating systems
Configure the machines with a Multi-OS boot to switch between the current OS and the one supporting the application
Create a virtual machine with an older operating system that supports the application
Set the application to run in compatibility mode on the current systems
Using a virtual machine configured with an older version of the operating system that supports the outdated application provides an isolated environment in which the application can run without affecting the current operating systems. This solution allows the use of legacy software and mitigates compatibility issues, all while maintaining the existing infrastructure and security protocols. Other options, like Multi-OS boot or compatibility mode, might propose a direct installation on the current systems which could lead to compatibility problems or require substantial modifications, and accessing a different machine with an old OS may not be practical or secure.
