Look at Windows 10 OIT LTSC...

M-O-U-S-EEEEEEE! (Sorry, couldn't resist). :)

You can get another year of support by signing up for a microsoft account and setting up backup.

AKA, the Procratination Maneuver. I'm in the Windows Insider program, so I'm all set. Come next October, however, I think it'll be time to ease on down the road.

Zero Patch will be available for a while.

Part of the beauty of homelabs is being able to spin up a new VM
without impacting your current setup. I have a 64 bit Windows 11 VM I
could move the BBS to, at this point I don't have an 32-bit
dependencies.

Yeah, I rely on too many DOS doors. Can't run linux either as the Linux port of my BBS software used the wrong compiler and can't run external programs (even linux ones).

Is the source code for your BBS software not available so that you can compile it yourself on the Linux distro you're using?

It needs to be compiled with Virtual Pascal, which doesn't exist in Linux.
It's compiled in Free Pascal and I couldn't get the source code to compile at all. It's written in Pascal, which is a problem with Linux.

30+ years), wipe, re-copy everything back over.

Not that I disagree, but one thing being discounted is the possible damagethat could be caused to _other_ systems using your compromised system.
