I'll see what I can do, thanks for the advice and for your sophisticated explanation.

I live in Iran, and everything is either banned in this country or sanctioned (including this very forum). So a lot of stuff like music & movies would only be accessible through means such as MP3/MP4/MKV which I'm probably going to transfer them using a USB stick anyway, and MS Office and...

Well, none of those involve internet except "browsing internet", do they? :P Anyways I'm going to keep the current WinXP installation or perhaps do a reinstallation. What drivers do I necessarily need after installing Windows and what would be some good sources to get them from?

The system originally had just a single 512MB stick that somehow got fried, so wherever I searched for DDR RAMs I couldn't find anything except this pair of 512MB sticks. Well, that's fine by me. I don't think I'd have any internet uses on that system except for maybe Wikipedia.

So would using WinXP be a wiser choice?

Yes, that's certainly true. I was thinking maybe I'd use it for browsing the internet, Microsoft Office, listening to music, watching videos, and possibly to install some old Call of Duty titles?

I have an old DVD which contains Win7 but since this system doesn't have a DVD reader I couldn't really use that, so I downloaded this ISO from an Iranian website.

Well, the place I obtained it from mentioned that it's a 32-bit installation ISO.

I've tried recreating the boot USB using Rufus, which I've noticed has changed the format of flash drive to NTFS (it was FAT32) and the partitioning to MBR but got the same blank screen except there is some text now: A disk reading error has occured (Press Alt+Ctrl+Del to restart) I should...

Hello guys, I hope you're all doing well I've got a pretty old system, it's currently running WinXP but I was wondering if I could upgrade it to Win7 maybe? Here are the specs: Motherboard: MSI MS-6788 865PE CPU: Intel Celeron D 320 2.4Ghz RAM: 1GB DDR (2x512MB) GPU: 128MB Nvidia FX5200 I've...

True, but I don't think a 2GB GPU from 2015 would really be able to run current games at all.

Hello everybody, I have an Acer Aspire E15 E5-574G laptop with an Nvidia GeForce 940m GPU, I need to install the driver for the GPU, but I found 2 versions of the driver, one at the Acer website and the other on the Nvidia website, The one on the Acer website was released in 2017 but the one...

Hello everybody, Recently, I haven't been able to go fullscreen on games and etc. When I press Alt + Enter the game goes fullscreen for 1 second then gets back to windowed mode again, as if I had pressed those keys again. Sometimes I can't even run games, because as soon as I launch them...
