Hi, so I was wondering if I could run the GOG version of the first Alan Wake on Win XP? The oldest supported OS listed here https://www.gog.com/en/game/alan_wake is Win 7, but as far as I know, the retail DVD release of the game listed Win XP as a minimum.

Win95 rig: Pentium II 400/64MB RAM/Matrox G400 16MB/Voodoo2 12MB/SB Live! + SB 128
Win98 rig: Athlon XP 2500+/512MB RAM/SB Audigy/GF FX5700
WinXP rig: HP RP5800 - Pentium G850/2GB RAM/GF GT530 1GB
Amiga: A600/2MB RAM
PS2, Ps3, Dreamcast

I don't rebuy games so I have the Steam release and somehow an Epic release that must have been free at some point.

The Epic version uses newer exe and dlls than the Steam version but both work on XP. The EPIC dlls are dated 5/21/2020.

Likely the GOG and Epic versions are the same since the EPIC version doesn't have any DRM while the steam ver does so should be good.
