Could be guys. I know I'm not Ready Kilowatt.
I didn't say anything about ground lifting or 3 prong adaptors. I recommended choosing an outlet, replace the receptacle with a 3 prong outlet. Ground the green screw and test it.
By all means rewiring your house for several grand would be choice one. And choice two would be get an electrician over while fully acknowledging that electricity can be very dangerous.
But I can promise you if you can't do any of the above then sitting there plugging gear into multiple open ground outlets with the possibilities of reverse polarity receptacles is far more dangerous than what I implied.

the remainder of the code paragraph for possible clarification:
The receptacle grounding terminal shall be grounded by an insulated equipment grounding conductor run with the circuit conductors. This grounding conductor shall be permitted to pass through one or more panelboards without connection to the panelboard grounding terminal as permitted in Section 384-20, Exception so as to terminate within the same building or structure directly at an equipment grounding conductor terminal of the applicable derived system or service. |
