A:AnswerThe computer does not come with a CD/DVD drive, so you would have to connect an external drive to attempt this.
However, would recommend a system with significantly better specifications if you are looking for a gaming machine. This is more of a 'thin'/web client computer. It will play games that have very low system requirements, so it depends on the game(s) you are looking to play.
A:AnswerIf the cord isn't rated for 220V electricity, and you plug it in, it WILL damage the power cord, and can even catch fire. Not only do you need adapter plugs, but you need a power converter as well. That will turn the power coming from the wall to 110 so you can use your computer properly.
A:AnswerDirectX is a Graphics card library that comes in multiple versions. Most games will automatically install the version needed for the game, if it doesn't you should be able to download it from Microsoft and install it, unless it is a very old version of DirectX
I would verify that the computer meets the graphics card, CPU, RAM, and Drive space requirements of any game you are thinking to install as this system is on the lower side of system specifications and many games will not have a satisfactory experience on this computer.
A:AnswerDepends on what you mean by online games. System has a lower end graphics card/processor and 32GB hard drive.

A:AnswerThe $25 gift card offer is true. You get a website where you have to validate your computer but once you do, you can download anything up to $25 from the XBOX Games store in Windows 8.1, the Windows 8.1 App Store, XBOX Movies and XBOX Games. Browser needed a little adjustment but it worked after that :)
