Why would you install Windows 10 on a hard drive? If your computer is that old, you want 7 or XP
Are 7 and XP still supported?
No, but what are you going to do? Install WIn10 on a computer that's too old and doesn't meet the minimum specs?
If you have a 2010 computer, it's either old Windows or Linux, modern WIndows is going to suck, if it even works. Ergo, i can't think of a circumstance where you'd want/have to install Win10 on a hard drive instead of an SSD.
Maybe shits and giggles, similar to running Doom on random stuff? If someone has more imagination than me then i'm open
Modern linux mint with zram works flawlessly on lga775 4gb ram and Nvidia gt210 and hdd as main and only drive
If you're still running 10 does it matter?
For a month or two
