When I said "upgrade to a better operating system", I wasn't being specific. There are plenty of better OSes than Windows Vista; Win 10 is just one of them. Upgrading to the latest release of Debian GNU/Linux would almost certainly solve your problem, as there is plenty of support in any current Linux distro for managing other programs. Of course, every decision has consequences, so it's up to you to decide whether it's better to upgrade your existing hardware to a newer Windows, switch to Linux, switch to BSD, buy new hardware, or something else entirely.
