    Hi! You should be fine and Service Pack 2 has a good reputation for
    games compatibilty. You won't be able to download updates although legend has it there is a way (I have no clue how). Lots of games have drivers they need included on the CD/DVD, some do not and be prepared for difficulties although there is help out there if you run into any. Have at least a gigabyte of memory and you should be good. Bye

    just grab a torrent. you should get windows 10 instead.

    Just make sure you are not using it as your every day machine, I would NOT trust a torrent to not have malware on it, and you are not getting any more security patches. Not sure if you still get offical Microsoft checksums for them either.
