About Intel 915 graphics, yes there are only XPDM drivers. WDDM drivers are for Intel 945G or newer. We install Windows 10 on these old machines only for proof of concept, to see if this is possible and how they behave. To take full advantage of such a machine (without WDDM graphics drivers) is advised to install Windows 7 32-bit instead so you can use the Windows XP graphics driver (XPDM). This will provide you some hardware acceleration (but not aero) and the machine will be as fast as if it was running Windows XP. But it will be far better with a more modern operating system like Windows 7, so I consider this to be the best choice for old systems without WDDM driver. Do not forget to also install DirectX 9.0c runtime to improve compatibility with older games and video applications.
