Will switching to Linux require a company to purchase new computers?

No, but hardware cards in some computers may not already have drivers (firmware) to interface with the Linux kernel. It is less expensive to replace one card than to develope a new driver.
Purchasing new computers with Linux preinstalled may also provide better tech support agreements than having a local tech run a custom installation on each model.

∙ 10y agoAt some point yes. As the computer hardware gets faster and faster the manufacturers of the operating systems can rewrite the OS to make use of the faster devices. Which means as the OS gets updated at some point they are going to have to drop support of older computers so they don't have to keep writing old code that may conflict with the newer machines.
It just depends on what you need the computer for. Just because it's old doesn't mean you HAVE to upgrade. If the 3rd party software companys keep supporting the OS version then no need to.
