Q: Can it play games like Minecraft and run steam games?

A: We recommend you check with the game's software publisher's web site for their compatibility with Windows 10 Home (or S-Mode if applicable) 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.
