Windows 10: compatibility issues

Hello, Microsoft.

I bring you a question which is also a request. But I beg you beforehand that you don't take my words wrong, as a form of abuse from my part.
I would like to ask you if there is any form of loss that you would suffer if the previous versions of Windows would be offered for free, for those who want to virtualize them via their ISOs.
I ask this because the software, the apps, etc., that are made nowadays, are made for nowadays operating systems, which includes Windows 10. But, let's say, for instance, people who like to play old games can't do it, because there is no compatibility. There is a compatibility mode in Windows 10, yes, but, let's face it, it's far from working properly, as it should. There are, let's say, games for Windows 95 or 98 which don't even install properly, because the installation file is prepared to run in a system that is not recognized when the file runs.
If there is no software right now being made for old operating systems, if you don't even produce them or sell them anymore for years, if there is absolutely no money at all you can gain with them right now...then what would you lose by making Windows 3.1, 95, 98, XP, available for free, let's say, for VirtualBox emulation? Because this one runs on ISOs from old systems, and these require the old licensed installations CDs, but who has them? The only way to get them now is through software piracy, which is illegal.
Like I said before, please don't take this as an abusive request. I only wanted to make a point and ask for an answer. What I suggest would would be an extremely good way to fix your compatibility issues...or, even better, is there a way to make the compatibility modes run on a virtualization/emulation basis?

Please answer me shortly.

Thanks for the attention,

J. L. Braga

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
