I even got the wireless driver (Intel 2200BG) working as well as the Intel GMA. I decided that, well if windows 7 works then 10 ought to. (Install progress so far) 1st phase complete! c'mon.....!

Managed to get it working with the Vista drivers and here's the result! Still trying to get the Intel GMA driv
