A:Answer Thank you for inquiring about this HP laptop! This laptop would only be able to run the Steam client and select Steam games because of the memory, processor, and operating system mode. To install run the Steam client, the computer would need to be taken out of S Mode first. Windows will take up about 2.5 out of the 4 available GB of memory. Although the Steam client has a small memory footprint, the games vary and depend on what titles you wish to play. A good laptop to consider would be one that has at least an i5 or equivalent along with at least 8GB of RAM along with an Iris, Arc, nVidia, or AMD graphics chipset. Happy gaming!
