A XP class machine usually is single core and has other limited hardware. It's not the gigs here.

Machines from XP days are usually better off on a Linux distro. Please, next time don't leave out PC details.

I feel the same about Win10. I had installed it on my laptop which has 4 GB RAM, 2 GB Graphics. But since it was way too slow, I got back on Win 8.

My old 2009 Sony w/W7 is faster on 10.
