A:AnswerYes, it will run rainbow 6 siege but just be aware that with any spinning hdd, you will load in slower especially in games like Siege. And since siege waits for everyone to load in, the game wont begin until you fully load in and you will get last pick for an operator. This laptop does have a 7200 rpm hdd but it does feel slower compared to other 7200 rpm drives.
