Can my computer run windows 8?

[Honorable_Wolf]

I have gotten really confused over this because I run the windows compatibility and it says windows 8 would run fine, but when I check with a "professional" apparently he says that the hardware is too old and I have to get a new computer with windows 8 to run windows 8.

Is my computer definitely compatible?
Specs:
Operating System:
Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit SP3
CPU:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz
Wolfdale 45nm Technology
RAM:
2.00GB Single-Channel DDR2 @ 266MHz (4-4-4-12)
Motherboard:
ConRoe1333-D667 (CPUSocket)
Graphics:
VA1913w-4 (1366x768@60Hz)
1024MB NVIDIA GeForce 210 (CardExpert Technology)
Storage:
74GB Seagate ST380011A (ATA)
232GB MAXTOR STM3250310AS (SATA)

Also do you think you can tell me how to install it without a CD if it is compatible? Thanks.

Not well, I would not do it. You'd be better off running Linux.

Game, you can't suggest that. It's against forum TOS. It can and will get you banned.

Honorable_Wolf,

Buy it.

You might as well get Windows 10 for free legally over Windows 8, it's a much more stable OS (I'm using it now) and they're moving away from the Windows 8 Metro anyway so you might as well make the change now.

Better of with windows 8.1 . Live with them for 8-9 months and then voila, win 10 for free (or so they say)

I was thinking of that, but it said when it was released you have to buy it

That is true, but if you would buy Windows 8 you might as well wait until April and buy Windows 10. I also heard Microsoft might make Windows 10 have a free version which would be a dramatic change in the PC world.

They said it would be free to windows 8.1 it will charge $30 for windows 7 and I am not sure about windows xp or vista
