If it's running on another computer, that's illegal

It'll work. I have XP Pro SP2 on a 166MHz...

so it should work fine with 10 gb?'s idk the ram?

128MB minimum... It should probably have that much... so it depends... answer this question:

Did you previously install this OS on another system?

i got the windows xp disc when a local comp shop went out of busness so no its sealed and never been used. i just got this comp from somebody who hardly knows how to use one so i don't think he changed anything?

Naw, if it's still sealed, your fine

Install and you should be set
