Since Minecraft is made in Java, I tought it would run on anything as long as it has the JRE/JVM and meets the system requirements.
I thought I could just get an old version of the JRE/JVM and install it on an old Windows machine and Minecraft will run nicely.

There are different versions of the JRE and VM, though. Minecraft might use function calls that don't exist in the older versions, and you might not be able to obtain the older versions for previous editions of Windows.
