I run into this when I cut out polygons after creating UV (in Blender). I don’t know anything about wings 3D. There are Wings 3D experts here who have more to say than me.
I have a 12 year old i3 laptop that just about runs the latest Blender 3.5.1 (using Linux) with a few OpenGL related glitches. Official support is only back 10 years, but they do not go out of their way to lock people out and in fact improved things for me at the last release.
However they still make ALL the old releases available for free back to 2003 (blender.org->download->previous versions). in my case I found old computer support was perfect at version 2.93. This has all the features you will need for creating game assets. Alternatively the Blender devs suggest version 2.79b for really, really old hardware.
