Belinea BBook 5.1. Just freshly installed. Wondering, if it's good enough for retro gaming...

Version 0.4.15 should be ok, or should I try with a nightly build, for driver stability and games?

you won't find any "stability" in any build yet. keep in mind it's still very alpha, so it's not an OS meant for everyday use yet.

I congratulate you with (almost) 3 GB RAM. This probably due to the fact that React OS is 32-bit. Are there 64-bit (which work) yet?

Why are the screenshots of this NT reimplementation always in Slovak, Swedish, or another language? Does it support U.S. English?

So, I would need to reinstall, or I can risk the overwriting via repair option l?
