IMHO, a lot of those older operating systems will be just fine on "period' hardware. Or older hardware. Issues usually happen with hardware released after "it" was abandoned by Microsoft. As always YMMV.
It can actually be fun to revisit older operating systems. Especially if you liked the experience the first time around.
