Accessing a Fusion 8 disk image

Back in 2011 - when my iMac was new - I purchased and installed Fusion 3.

 

In 2015, after a number of operating system upgrades, I attempted to run Fusion but found that Fusion 3 was no longer supported. Since at the time I only needed to access the disk image once or twice, I downloaded a trial version of the (then) current version of Fusion (Fusion 8).

 

Eight years later, I am still running the same Mac - although it is now running OS X 10.11 instead of 10.6. I need to access my Windows disk image and am able to pay for a full version of the software. My problem is that Fusion 8 is no longer available, while the only available versions - 10 and 11 - use the Metal graphics system, which my Mac cannot run.

 

In other words, the only way I can access my disk image is to run the current version of Fusion - and the only way I can run the current version of Fusion is to buy a new Mac!

 

Can this be right? Surely there's some alternative. (The data on my Windows disk image is valuable to me, but I'm not sure it's £1000+ worth of value!)
