Have you read the How to ask page? Particularly "Do hour homework"? Sorry, but -1 for confusing us with Google. – Alois Mahdal Jan 22 at 17:41

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

(The official answer is no, but if you use Orca to modify the msi packages, you may be able to get past the OS check and install, but the program may not run.)

No. See here.

Not sure which OS you're using, but for Windows 7 you can upgrade for a reasonable price. See here.
