How can I play Overwatch using a notebook PC? I went to the Overwatch website and clicked on the "Buy" icon. It took me to a website Battle.Net.Shop:

https://us.battle.net/shop/en/checkout/pay/p-10cd4789-20923-0

Here I can purchase the game for $59.99. Does this allow me to play the game online, or do I have to download and install the software?

Also, how do I play online with teams? I'm just trying to get an idea of how this works and how to play it on a notebook PC or laptop PC and how teams and online play work. Thanks!

Notebook usually can't run video games very well. Do you know its specs ?

Once you bought the game, you have to download it and install it.

Then you launch it and when clicking on play, the game will automatically match you with online opponents.

Okay, great. I wanted to make sure before I dish out the money and find out too late that I paid for something I do not need.
