Look up the minimum requirements for whatever OS you're interested in and refrain from installing on machines that don't meet or exceed them

Your question is vague and nearly incoherent, and it's hard to imagine what sort of an answer your looking for (an essay maybe?). This forum's main focus is Win9x

I think I can guess the reason for the brand new (and quite charming) username

I tried hard to understand your post in order to help or give some opinion. I'm afraid it's all just a big muddle and eventually I had to give up.

I appreciate that English might not be your first language but unless you can set your question out more clearly (and edit it before posting) I don't think you will get many takers.

Sound advice (and echoing a previous suggestion)

Warp 3 is pretty neat.

Question is: what do you want to *DO* with this box of rocks.

A few capital letters, correct spelling and some punctuation can be helpful in communicating with others. It makes people take you seriously.
