If they are still on XP, they can still use older builds of Inkscape.
People stuck on XP must surely be used to new software not working on their old deprecated OS by now.
Actually in my experience the situation is the exact opposite. Windows 10 has not offered me access to any new software that is of any interest to me. Instead it has forced me to abandon two old, legacy, pieces of software that I had used daily for about 15 years on XP, and now can no longer use because they are 16 bit software. So the switch to Windows 10 has been a significant step backwards in terms of functionality and in terms of user-friendliness. Windows 10 is incredibly unfriendly when it comes to simple things like copying files, and it is full of bugs and glitches. I upgraded to Windows 10 because I was literally forced to do so, not because I wanted to, and certainly not because it offered me anything that I was actually interested in.
