Very well done indeed.
I'm still on the 32 bit side here - at least on my dev machines. Just too many of my day to day applications don't work or only partially work on Windows 10 so I am still stuck here typing this on my trusty 32 bit Windows 7 box. It's been bullet proof.
Don't worry - the rest of MGL is on Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux, it's just me that prefers the old stuff. One of our pick and place machines is running Windows 98 (nothing else works). Our AHRS calibration rig is running Windows 2000. Would run on Windows 10 - but what the heck - if it ain't broken - don't fix it...

Much of the US electrical grid was running on DOS until more recently.....

virtualisation allows you to take any old running system and virtualise it on a much faster machine.
The software we used was VMware.
I was working as a volunteer in a school in Tanzannia, and we virtualised a number of legacy systems onto new more reliable hardware.
Worked fine, and allowed us to use "old school" legacy systems for a lot longer than we orignally expected while new systems were written and installed over time.
