Let's run Win10 on really really old hardware

Core2 Quad

A for effort but doesn't really count. Like spapakons said, a Core2 Quad isn't really old and is a very capable CPU even today.

Old would be something that's 32bit only or first gen 64bit AMD.

I have Win10 on a Dell Optiplex 755, works quite nice. Also have Win10 Insider Preview on a Dell Inspiron 530S.

I understand.
This system is a backup for my current rig, In case something were to happen to it.
I must state, that this machine has demonstrated great reliability over the years and has proven this toughness/resilience.
Also the stock heat sink which came with this unit, was absolute overkill for it's time.
Along with it's cpu cooling fan and shroud.

I have that same Dell chassis with an older CPU. Really reliable and great as a testing machine.

I heard the there's a socket 478 cpu that has a nx bit.

Since doing research, I found a pentium 4 socket 478 cpu that has the NX bit

Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 511 (1M Cache, 2.80A GHz, 533 MHz FSB)

Here's the Intel CPU information from Intel's website: http://ark.intel.com/products/27453/...Hz-533-MHz-FSB :)

I was going to do up a nice photoshop of a Color TRS-80 running 10, just for laughs but thought better of it .... :)
