OEM is Original Equipment Manufacturer, for example DELL. You do not want that version because it may be specialized with Dell (or Sony, etc) drivers plus legally it cannot be transferred or put on a different machine.

I do not know of any legal/safe Windows XP ISOs, best to buy the CD/DVD.

Note: Since your computer is a "Gateway" you could contact "Gateway" and they might be able to sell you their OEM version of Windows XP (which would be correct and valid to install on your computer).

A couple of suggestions:

Run chkdsk, Microsoft link because you are running XP
Install Malwarebytes Anti Malware, just use the free version.
Run Windows Defender offline to be sure that there are no viruses hanging around.

Hope this helps.
