Soooo… Haven’t seen anyone ask this. Why DOESN’T he want it updated? Have you checked for running processes, keyloggers (hardware and software), hidden partitions, Veracrypt, etc?
There may be a reason that’s not being shared.
Otherwise I agree with the email routes that get it in writing (or the lack of response as such).
This probably applies to bosses in any role. That said, this boss is not an IT guy, he’s a manager in a “health” business employing an IT guy. Why wouldn’t you tell the IT guy you hired about your IT requirements?

This is my guess.
You’d think OPs boss would just tell him that though.
“We can’t upgrade because of <whatever software> I’m keen to hear what we can do to mitigate the security risk”.

That doesn’t sound like what’s happening here. It’s a family business. I think OP is the entire IT department.

fair enough. I didn’t read every comment.
Dunno, worked in medical for years, and if there’s a system that can replace it and retain the data, no one I worked with would have pushed back.
Note, I think you are speaking of state medical law, which is typically data retention to 25 years post-minor (43), not HIPPA which is data privacy.
