I would absolutely send him an email to the effect of

"Per our multiple verbal conversations, this is just to serve as notice that, in my professional opinion, your refusal to allow me to upgrade a system at risk of multiple security vulnerabilities on a platform that is no longer supported is a risk that you are choosing to accept against my advise."

with a list of known major vulnerabilities attached if possible.

That way at least if this comes back to bite the company on the ass, he can't say "Well he never told me this was a problem!"

I disagree. That's a consultant-style answer. OP is an idiot newb three months into his first job with zero responsibility, and not in any position to "serve notice" or have any meaningful "professional opinion".
