Explanation

Virtualizing the application is the best action that a technician can take to complete the OS migration when there is no compatible current software for a specialized hardware device. Virtualizing the application means running the application in a virtual machine (VM) that emulates the previous OS environment that supports the application and the hardware device. This way, the technician can avoid the need to replace the PC or the hardware device, or to restrict user access to the application. Virtualizing the application also allows the technician to benefit from the new OS features and security updates, while maintaining the functionality and compatibility of the application and the hardware device.
