I also do this for our Engineers who are required to use ICPR v3 on Windows XP with USB redirect software for the USB hardware lock, so Engineers can remote in to run/edit drainage models nights and weekends without having to come into the office. Now he doesn't have to upgrade until he's ready to do so. We already owned the licensing for Windows XP, AutoCAD 2000 and Eagle Point. He simply double clicks to go back in time. I converted his old workstation to VM, moved it to the server, added something to NETLOGON script to copy it local for him (so we get the CYA of network backups & local disk performance), and configured an RDP file so that when he double clicks, it logs him in with saved credentials. I do this for our surveyor, who also happens to be the Vice President of the firm, who insists on using AutoCAD 2000 + Eagle Point on Windows XP. If you upgrade to Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can enable Client Hyper-V and simply convert your existing Windows 7 physical machine into a virtual machine (VM) using DISKTOVHD, then host that VM from your new Windows 10 physical machine's local disk (where it will be faster), the network file server (where it can be backed up), etc and simply remote into that machine using RDP file.
