Your highly important specialist machine is probably remotely exploitable for as much damage as replacement cost if it also needs a web browser and an internet connection.

Also a browser that is years behind current has a trail of breadcrumbs in terms of fixed bugs for newer versions. It is probably nearly as bad as the built-in option.

Correct. Those versions of Windows will not bet getting any crucial or critical updates.

You're better off trying to see if ReactOS / FreeDOS will run the damn thing.
