At least, there are virtual machine/emulators which let people use older desktop and mobile operating systems to run older software, so people can continue to use old software and apps if they still have the installer files to install them.

VMs can also be very slow on computers with a slow CPU and less RAM.

Yep, if they aren't high end, they won't run VMs very well.

somewhat light weight linux OS does help, specially with those who don't want to use windows.
