    what a shock: a computer that doesn't meet the minimum requirements for windows 7, 8 or 10, can't properly run a preview edition of unfinished software. seriously, what did you expect?

    I am unsure exactly what you are saying . . .

    I understand parts, most of it runs together and cancels out what might have been said in the same... sentence...?

    As for the system specs you gave - the last OS that would have ran 'well' in the Windows line was XP...

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/314865

    Windows Vista would have 'worked' given its requirements - but FAR from 'well':

    Windows 7, well, not so much . . .

    Windows 8/8.1:

    ,,, and looking at other posts of yours (which was correct - you can still update Windows XP the same way to this day - at least thru the point updates were no longer released), perhaps you should use this:

     . . . get what you need, archive them.  ;-)
