I can understand if you would want to delay on a personal machine. That's your call. However, I am of the opinion that you should not gamble the business on it. You should not have any EOL devices in use, period. (Unless it is properly airgapped)
every business still running custom software on XP machines, press X to doubt.

You don't connect those to the outside world
