hello, i want to to install window xp on a computer and run games, will
i need to update window xp in order to run games,even though microsoft does not upgrade anymore
how can i run old program without the microsoft discontinued windowxp upgrade?
there is a small package you can install, provided by a group of hobbyists, to restore functionality to windows update. using that you can get your machine up to the newest point possible. check out

i recently put together a machine to do that too.. play some old point and click games that never made it to steam (or are incredibly broken otherwise)
just don't use it for day-to-day stuff (casual web browsing) anymore .. up to date for xp definitely doesn't mean secure ;)
