The only thing that blocked my progress some time ago,
was VirtualBox 5 was not Inverted-Hypervisor-compatible,
and installing VirtualBox 6 allowed some OS Upgrade to move
forward.
But the job of preparing old disk setups (assuming you have
a TPM), is not for the faint of heart.

MBR2GPT.exe (on your C drive), can take a three partition MSDOS partitioned
disk and convert it to a GPT partitioned disk. Initially, MBR2GPT pretended
it could not find my OS partitions, which was bullshit. It was actually
unable to find reagentc and the location of WinRE.wim for emergency boot.
which is not all that important, when Microsoft leaves it broken
right after a fresh install. There's a good chance yours is disabled too.
reagentc /info
Once the Recovery partition has a valid WinRE.wim in it and the XML file,
then the MBR2GPT program can do its thing.
