A company has proprietary software that only operates on an outdated operating system which is no longer supported on current hardware platforms. To maintain operation of this essential software while ensuring the stability and security of current systems, what is the BEST solution?
Create a virtual machine for the outdated operating system on an up-to-date host system to continue running the legacy software.
Configure a dual-boot setup to run both the updated and the outdated operating systems on the same physical machine.
Update the legacy software to run on modern operating systems, potentially involving recoding the application.
Replace the legacy software with a modern equivalent that offers the same functionalities on current hardware and operating systems.
Creating a virtual machine to run the outdated operating system and legacy software provides isolation from the main, up-to-date operating environment. This ensures compatibility and extends the viability of the software without compromising the security or stability of the company's newer systems and hardware.
