I have old files created in early versions of WordPerfect that I like to access. You mentioned Sandbox is useful for running legacy programs. Is there any benefit to using it over the general OS, with which I can run later versions of WordPerfect?

For an application like WordPerfect I wouldn't think so. The use cases for Windows Sandbox are more along the lines of experimentation, running suspect executables and trying untrusted software. WordPerfect doesn't fall into any of those categories.
Not to say you can't do it, just that it's not necessary in this case.

A VM is preferable for that. I have some legacy software that won’t run on Win-7 or Win-10 so I run it on a VM that is set up as a Win-98 machine.
