Did I make a serious mistake on Grandson’s gifts?

Question by Monty: Did I make a serious mistake on Grandson’s gifts?
My grandson’s birthday, and Christmas, are both coming up soon. I buy stuff online, as there’s no selection in our small town area.. I thought he’d like software to improve his videos, so I ordered him a nice program. He’s always making videos to put up on Utube. It’s his passion.

Also, we asked the kids for a Christmas list. One of his items was a Genius G Pen writing tablet. I found it on Amazon, ordered that for him.

Then, Thursday when he was here, I asked him what kind of system his computer has on it. His grandpa had reconditioned one and sent it to him. Grandson says it’s an older version of Windows. Dang! I see on the box that the software for movies requires at least Windows XP, and the Genius G Pen tablet is for Vista. Oooooops!!!!

Did I buy him 2 fairly expensive gifts that he won’t even be able to use? How do I fix this? Help! We are celebrating his birthday this coming weekend. What do I do now?

Ask the people you know for a copy of atleast windows xp or higher and install it on the computer as soon as you can.

If you’re short on cash and no one you know has the disc for their OS, you can always download a torrent and install, although that is illegal.
