Well because the old one still works like a champ.

The only viable upgrades are for mobility (an old thinkpad or maybe even RaspberryPi) OR build a monster linux machine with a limited resource VM Windows XP.

But she already has a newer work PC, she just uses the old one for simulations (which makes RasPi very suitable since the old hog takes up entirely too much fracking space considering how seldom it gets used)...

Plus, she's grown attached to it, which I completely understand.
Ain't no way that PC is getting out of that office.
