I purchased a new computer with Windows XP. Can I install Office 97 with XP?

Long as you have the license available - and technically even without -
yeah.

And also Office 97 SR2a update for it to be properly functional
with Windows XP.

SP2a (SP2) is an older update to Office 97 and is no longer available from
Microsoft. You should update to SP 2b (watch URL wrap) and make sure that
SP1 is installed first if your Office 97 version is a pre SP1 disk.

SP1 is here

SP 2b is here
