[OPSEC/Computer] GPG4WIN won't install on my computer, which I use only for DNM shit and games.

I'm on a Dell Precision M4300 with Windows XP. I think the alternative is running GNUPG, but I'm not familiar with that program.

Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft:

From the above link:

While it's true that you can keep using your PC with Windows XP after support ends, we don’t recommend it. For starters, it’ll become five times more vulnerable to security risks and viruses, which means you could get hacked and have your personal information stolen.

Upgrade to Windows 7.

You can download Windows 7 for free:

You can make it "Genuine" with the daz loader:

You need to join the forum and click on thanks to get a link to the download.

Watch out for other sites advertising the daz loader. Most of them are probably bundled with some kind of virus.


If you can't or don't want to upgrade, maybe gpg4usb will work:

The better security option would be to try and get the Tails OS to boot on your machine:
