I just have no idea if this would work, and have never used Steam. I haven't played a video game in 20+ years, so no idea where things are at these days. If it doesnt work can I get my money back?

You can get a refund within an hour or two of buying (for sure I am not sure about if that includes or requires downloading the game first).

Because you only have Intel iGPU, the game may run, I wouldn't count on it performing well enough to be worth the effort though. I see folks online complaining about Intel Xe iGPU's having problems, and those are faster/more powerful than the Iris 6200 you have.

Hmmm. Ok. I guess I won’t bother. Sometimes I think about building a new gaming rig, haven't built once since around 2000.

Rig building is fun, but expensive (these days).
