You can use QEMU (that’s what also Docker uses under the hood to run containers built for foreign architectures)

Which of the following QEMU would be good for my old 2GB RAM laptop? Will it support RISC-V ?

It seems that you would need qemu-system-riscv

As I understand it, qemu in system mode requires an operating system. So, since you want to use qemu with so little RAM, it may be better to run qemu in user mode. To do so, it appears that it needs to qemu-user-static or qemu-user.
