Then you can run whatever you want under proton, though this isnt "officially" supported so you might have an odd glitch or 2. But if it runs on steam proton fine enough, it shouldn't be much different

You don't need to buy it on Steam to launch it through Steam

OK I didnt know you could run older games from windows xp through steam I'll try to figure it out, I was watching a video last night about using lutris and how to mount the iso from archive.org

Go to your Steam library, and on the bottom left, click the "+" and then click "add non-steam game" browse to the exe and add it. Then go to the game in your library, hit the gear and go to properties. Go to compatibility, and you should be able to choose your desired Proton version from the drop down. Then launch the game through Steam.

This is from memory so it might not be exact, but it's close.
