One idea you could have done is Taken the built in vista drivers and tried them on windows 10. Windows vista uses WDDM 1.0 for its driver model, and I’m pretty sure Windows 10 still supports WDDM 1.0 (windows 11 definitely doesn’t). You could install vista, find the video device and look for the driver files it’s using then import those files into windows 10 and try it
@@mustasheolll2020Makes sense, But doesnt Vista have a WDDM 1.0 driver still though? Once i got Vista working with a Geforce4 MX 440, no aero naturally but the driver said WDDM 1.0 next to the name of the device. That driver came with Vista and was a Microsoft branded driver.
I have an HP Pavilion dv2000 Entertainment PC from 2006 with Ubuntu Linux installed. The laptop originally had Windows Vista but I changed it to Ubuntu. It runs better on Ubuntu than it does on Windows Vista. The laptop is 17 years old and even has a working battery.
I remember using Windows 10 on Aspire 5315 from 2008 with Celeron 540 and 3 GB DDR2 in 2018. Whole laptop runed on patience and prayers and worked only on Windows 10 1709. Newer version not even worked, they freezed at installation stage. I'm happy that then I built i3-6100 PC, which at least worked without problems and runned some games
Don't think you're limited with Dell's driver page. I recommend trying to search for GPU's hardware ID and if you find a 32 bit driver, it's gonna work anyways so give it a try
This was the first new laptop I bought, was really impressed with it at the time. Was only £350 here although it was the smaller screen/huge bezels version, later upgraded it to 2gb ram.
noticed snappy driver installer mentioning the driver wasn't signed I wonder if windows would have at least tried to use it if driver signature enforcement was turned off... idk tho
@@MortCodesWeblol that just a lie, linux will always perform better than windows, certainly in gaming, depends saying it will run worse or "Distros don't have any features to tone down animations like windows does" shows how little you know about linux. arch, manjaro, lubuntu, anti x, mint will run way better than windows no matter what also, XFCE is a desktop environment, not a distro
@mrfoxesiteLOL WHAT linux still supports 32bit what tf are you on there is arch linux 32bit, debian, mint, void, opensuse. porteus, alpine, zorin and way more. idk what you mean by "dvanced technical terminal only distros support 32-bit"
The Dell Latitude D610 is still my main laptop. I just got a new battery for it and upgraded it to an IDE SSD (really an MSATA enclosure) a few months ago. It originally belonged to my elementary school, and I used it through the 4th and 5th grade, when they "upgraded" their systems from XP to 7 in 2014, I refused to give it up, so the IT lady took it and installed a clean copy of XP on it, and told me on the last day of school to stick it in my bag and not say anything. I used it all through middle school, and all through high school, and I just finished a 2 year college program (electrical systems technology) which I used it through as well; after that I rewarded it with the new battery and SSD, and it runs quite well with it. It has the MAX CPU, 2.26 GHz Pentium M, 2GB RAM, and the ATI graphics. That machine went through hell and back (me as a kid was not nice to anything,) and only one screen and 2 keyboards later it is still a very solid machine which does all I ask of it. Using a Pentium M in 2024 is still viable as long as you aren't using something like Windows 10, which will be quite poor.
Try windows 8.1 and see if the graphic drivers work on there. I remember handling some 2005-2007 laptops at workplace, and every single one that was forcibly updated to windows 10 32 bit had driver issues, half of them couldn't get the network to work. But the windows 7/8.1 ones worked fine and could recognize drivers. Worth a shot imo. Also there are extra updates you can get until around 2026 with windows 8.1, through legacy update and other tools, as they are pulled from official long time support versions of actual windows.
all the pain with the graphics driver makes me wonder if that Vista driver would work with driver signature enforcement disabled. Otherwise, in my experience, Windows 8.0 seems to work fine with Vista graphics drivers, so that could be worth a go.
Many people back then bought these “Vista Capable” laptops back then but then no WDDM driver. Mike Nash from Microsoft fell victim to this himself. But they weren’t labeled premium ready, which had a GPU (like GMA 950) that could run WDDM, but I don’t care, I will never trust Microsoft again with these kinds of things.
Windows 7 would realistically be your best option in terms of Windows support on that laptop. While you might even be able to find an “enhanced” basic driver that gives you the native resolution of that laptop, and I’ve seen that with older Windows versions, it’s not going to be better than just using Windows 7 with the native XP driver. In terms of Linux, modern Linux kernels still have the 910/915 chipset driver built-in, however, performance is lackluster, to say the least. While it depends on the Linux distro you choose, you’ll likely have sluggish performance across all modern distros simply due to the fact that the iGPU doesn’t have enough power to run the fancy animations and effects they use. So ultimately, it’s up to your personal preference. :)
The GMA 900 unfortunately couldn’t run WDDM because according to Intel it lacked a hardware scheduler. Sucks too because it was a very popular chip in laptops right before Vista’s release.
There's a way to disable Windows update from running an auto update. I've not tried it on manual updates. So it might not allow manual updating of Windows. What you can do is that you can go to services and disable Windows Update. What that does is that it causes Windows to fail to update.
I have a Compaq CQ60-215DX, I was able to find a graphic driver, but what I realized is that your cpu stays at a fixed speed, mine which I upgraded goes from 0.55 or lower to 2.20ghz, also your ram speed is 99mhz and mine is like 667mhz.
I would install Windows 8.1 honestly because it got security updates up to 2023, where this 2017 version of Windows 10 probablt didn't get updates that long. You can also try Windows 10 LTSB 2016, but it may be hard to obtain an ISO and activate it
Try 32 bit windows 7 ultimate or super lite, its only 600-700MB and will pickup the drivers as well or you can use any android OS, there are many so youhave to try then them and dont even need installation, simply run them from usb for testing.
Dell's unsupported laptops are very picky with Windows versions that exceed their release dates, from my experience at least. I personally recommend sticking with the system that their site has drivers for, otherwise it's nearly always a miss. Snappy Driver helps a lot in some instances, but I always opt for using their drivers due to proper compatibility with the hardware. I had this issue plenty of times where a driver from SDI would cause the GPU driver to go bad, and just black screen, leaving me only with formatting and reinstalling the fresh OS again. I tried Win 10 on E5500, E6510 and E6520 On Win 10 the only thing that 'sorta' worked were video card drivers downloaded from Windows Update. These however lacked a control panel, but the system felt smoother actually, than with the drivers for Win 7. E5500 just lagged heavily, and the control panel didn't respect the changes made in it. E6510 however always had a black screen with the Win 7 drivers on 10. Both of these came with some sort of Intel GMA's, which I don't think even have official support for anything newer than Win 7. The E6520 I have came with some NVIDIA card, and it also acted strangely, mainly it just stuttered in the system, despite the control panel being there. I even tried a driver from NVIDIA's site directly, but it actually caused a black screen. Maybe something is wrong with that laptop though, as it always displays "ME is in recovery mode." upon booting. The supposed solution for that was to flash the BIOS. I went through all the versions, but it still remained, so I don't even know what went wrong with it. As long as it works though, I'm gonna keep using it as a portable movie player. The 1080p screen in these has really great viewing angles. I had once got my hands on E6500 with 1980x1200, but I passed it over to a friend. It was also of great quality despite not being IPS. Overall, it gets quite sickening, but that's just how it is with these. ThinkPad users seem to have it way easier, as I've seen plenty of people installing 10 or even 11 on stuff like T61 or T400. While CPU is significantly suffering there, they at least have all the drivers working properly. At least E6x30 series supports Win 10 natively (and by that regard, Win 11 works there swell too!).
@@WildEuphoricEnergy Intel GMA's and Minecraft portray a quite funny behavior. I remember D510 and D520 not running the game at all, under any system. I tried it on Windows versions from 2k all the way to 7, and on some revision of Ubuntu, it was 16.04 if I'm not mistaken. However I just assume that the GMA in there was just outdated. Someone once suggested me that the driver may be just outdated and needs an update, but I haven't found anything newer than 2006. I can't check what GMA it was in these laptops, but I assume it just lacked OpenGL 2.0 in general.
E5500 with Core 2 Duo and 4 GB ram, with net framework, display driver and SD card reader driver can run the RTM Win 10 fine. On modern Win 10 it lags very bad. As I tried Vista runs the best on it, 8.1 and RTM 10 runs fine too but its important to install drivers and disable Windows Update.
How did you manage to boot Windows 10 on a Pentium M 735? My Toshiba SL10-117 has the came CPU (upgraded from Celeron M 370 to Pentium M 735), but it has no PAE/NX according to coreinfo. (PAE flag is missing even though it's supported)
Well too bad the GMA900 never got fully DX9 compliant, otherwise it would definitely work and we'd even have fully working Windows 10 on the first EeePC, considering the chipset is identical and the Celeron M 353 on it supports all needed for Win10
Bruh they need to do somethung about this , cuz my 2014 laptop is dying becuz of updates, especially is video games , they increase the system min reuquirements when it feels the same FPS anyways 🙄

yea you probably would have more luck installing linux on an HP stream than this. at least the HP streams are great linux laptops and have great keyboards and a decent touchpad also you can still get about 6 hours from the battery to this day for me.
I would put windows XP or 7 on it for running old windows programs. While a linux distro itself would be more responsive than windows 10 on this laptop, consider how bloated modern web browsers and the modern internet are. They'll slow it to a crawl.
Only thing that will run on this old laptop is some lightweight linux distro or winxp/vista. Also linux is not boring if you know how to use it , which is not really hard you have lot of tutorials on the internet .
