It should be no problem as I originally installed Works 2002 on mine. All I
got was a warning that it was almost obsolete when I activated it. You may
have issues with some aspects of Works, such as Money etc. but there are
updates that will be offered when you set Windows Update to offer updates
for other products via Microsoft Update. (See Windows Update/Change
Settings.
There is the opportunity to update Works to version 8.5, once it's installed
of course, here:
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/international/Update_1001.mspx
It's a bit involved, just follow the instructions carefully. You'll see
last dates for the offer there, ignore that as it seems to work anyway.
You might want to "Save" the download somewhere for future reference.
