You should be able to run anything from 7.4, 8.3, 9.1 to 10.0.

I mention 7.4 here for a simple reason. It could be that your old
machine uses some USB hardware, which is not supported from 8.0 onwards.

I would say, if it works, use 9.1. If not check out 7.4. If this then
works, you could check 10 out.

8.3 is the version which is the most robust one as the new stuff did
not arrive there yet.
