Me too, a little bit. I wasn't allowed on the computer for two years between 2008-2010 because of too many downloads. It was considered a family computer at that time.
Based on my test, It is recommended that it would only work with Windows XP Home Edition, and it would not work on other Windows computers. I don't know the compatibilities about old games on modern computers though!
@@JosephsNostalgicRevolution Works great for me. I’m an old timer. CP/M, Mapper, GEM, GEOS, BEOS, Linux, Mac OS, Solaris, DOS, Windows, and other shit I’ve forgotten. The operating system doesn’t matter. What matter is the software that sits on top and makes you productive. The OS is essentially a fashion choice. With 10 Microsoft has fixed all of the issues I had with Windows reliability (having XP die on my four month old laptop while I was on vacation was the last straw). There isn’t much functional difference in operating systems now. I use more than one because I like messing around. That’s why I built my new computer with an AMD 8700G processor. To mess around. See if I can make an NPU do something useful for a project idea. I have a half dozen virtual machines, basically for messing around. Breaking shit is fun 🤩.
@@waynesworldofsci-tech I used to break every computer by downloading something that wasn't meant for the family computer back in the day, when I got my own computer, I didn't download too much anymore. just basic minor things for the computer and that was it. Of course drivers was the thing I didn't notice what to add and didn't even know about at the time. When I got in trouble for too much downloading, I took a break for two years between 2008-2010 until I figured it out to logged back in the computer. I was very young at the time when I inappropriately searched the internet. That was a thing of the past now. My dad once told me that he used to set his computer like 5 times before he got it to boot for the first time with Windows 3.1 and I was too young to remember Windows 98 at the time or 95, so I figured Windows XP was my choice of my childhood. I was born in 2000 so I was in that period correct timing for XP.
@@JosephsNostalgicRevolution Some of the old gear wasn’t all that reliable either. Reliability has gone up massively across the board. Which is good, or I wouldn’t have ANY hair left.
My childhood is Windows 3.0
I use to have a Dell Windows XP computer long time ago.

In 2006 I had my first "vista-ready" laptop.
Is that bowling game still runnable on today's Windows? I remember having that but have no idea what happened to it.

Try growing up with DOS
Sorry, I was too young to remember DOS at the time. Including dial-up networking as what my sister told me.
Windows XP is why I stopped using Microsoft after 25 years. It was too bloody unreliable. I went Linux and Mac.
That's your opinion, and for people nowadays just moved on to Linux as what I've heard. It's not what it used to anymore.
