Let's speed up a 1st-gen AMD APU laptop by retrograding to XP (Zacate Fusion E-300)

The laptop featured in this video is a Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5529 - a low-budget, low-power, energy-efficient laptop that came out in 2011 and officially supports Windows 7 from factory. It has a dual-core AMD E-300 APU clocked at 1.3 GHz (18W TDP) w/ a Radeon HD 6310, 4GB DDR3@1066, a 512GB SK Hynix SATA SSD, and a Matsushita DVD-RAM.The E-300 is an early APU, low-power by design, 64-bit, competitive with netbook CPUs of its era like the Intel Atom. Its architecture (Brazos) belongs to the first generation of AMD Fusion APUs. It’s an early 2010s attempt by AMD to integrate good, capable HD graphics onto a CPU die. Given the low power design, this laptop was probably quite slow even when it was brand new. I installed Windows 10 on it just to see how it’d do. It works without bluescreening. However, everything is laggy and the CPU cores are almost constantly at 100% load – even when offline and nothing is open. It’s too modern. The CPU performance is about equivalent to an early XP machine so I chose Windows XP and gave it a “Vista downgrade” treatment with a similar workload to a desktop computer from the mid-2000s. Finding all the drivers was a challenge. Dynabook’s website lists several drivers for Windows 7 and almost none for XP. Ultimately, the Windows 7 sound card driver on Dynabook’s page worked, so maybe all the other ones do as well! I attempted to install 2 different Vista Transformation Packs and 2 Longhorn Transformation Packs released between 2004 and 2008. Unfortunately, the specs of the CPU appear to be a little too weak for Windows Aero to work easily. I kept the wallpapers from the packs to make some stuff in Photoshop CS2. What I’m doing in the “driver hunt” segment of the video is not ideal under any circumstances. Downloading a bunch of random closed source binaries from random websites is risky. I did it this way because it stays true to the nature of downgrading Vista/7 to XP on unsupported/half-supported hardware. 00:00 - Intro 01:14 - Taping the power cord 01:42 - Windows 10 Upfront CPU Performance 02:23 - 480p YouTube video test (Win 10) 03:18 - Temp Check and Strategy 04:05 - Dead Battery 04:13 - Top-down look of Satellite 04:30 - New Battery, RAM Downgrade (4GB) 04:55 - Trackpad/Keyboard 05:40 - Checking new battery 06:19 - Windows 10 Summary 06:38 - nLite 08:06 - XP SP3 Installation 09:40 - XP First Run and Performance 10:00 - Windows XP Upfront CPU Performance 10:45 - Old-fashioned Driver Hunting 18:40 - Theme Review 22:15 - Narrator 22:43 - K-Meleon 23:57 - 480p YouTube video test (Win XP) 26:00 - Misc 26:22 - Photoshop CS2 28:20 - Call of Duty 2 (2005) 31:00 - Tony Hawk 3 (2002 port) 31:53 - Call of Duty 1 (2003) - awful gameplay 33:37 - Halo 1 (2003 port) 35:28 - Doom 3 (2004) 37:00 - Quake 4 (2005)38:50 - Summary Night Owl Tech Support: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge...
