Borrow or buy

[Highpockets]

Does anyone in the Toms River Area have the install disks for Windows XP I can borrow or buy. I know this might not be the place to post, but, I’m limited how long I can leave the house, wife needs 24 hour care. So, while I’m in the house I figured I start playing Age of the Empires, (Conquerors). But I can’t get it to work on computer with Windows 10 or 11.

Have you looked to internet sources like this: Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 : Microsoft : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

The XP on the Internet Archive is legit. I have it running on a few virtual machines. If you're wanting to save some trouble though, check out AOE on Steam. The Definitive Edition is an updated version of AOE2 and will run on modern machines. The updates are amazing and it still feels like the original.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on Steam

42 Civilizations, 229 Campaign Missions, Singleplayer, Co-Op, Multiplayer, In-Game Editor, Mods, Cross-play...It is good to be the king.

Yes, I can recommend the Stream versions. My gaming friends and I play it.

The archive.org link will probably be a good source. Or I can give you a copy if I can find it... LOL If you have a Dell I do have the OEM version, too. Again, I'll have to dig through everything to find it though.
