Mint Xfce runs smoothly on my old PC as the following:
Old PC: Acer aspire M5700
CPU: Intel Core2 Quad
RAM: DDR2 800 SDRAM 4G
GPU: Removed now use on board Intel G45
MB : G45T AM2 V:1.0 motherboard
HDD: Seagate Momentus 5400rpm 120gb
The same Seagate hard drive is put on my Windows 10 PC as the following:
Acer desktop machine, Aspire T3 715
CPU Intel Core i5-6400
RAM DDR4-SDRAM 16GB 2133MHzDDR4-SDRAM
GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
SSD 128GB C-drive, running Windows 10 Home 64b.
HDD D-drive, 3.5" SATA3 HDD 7200rpm 1.0TB
And Mint Xfce is installed onto the Seagate hard drive. Mint Xfce boots and runs faster, but it induces BSOD and/or crashes unexpectedly and almost everyday.
How can Mint Xfce run on a Windows 10 PC without crashing, please?
Different class of CPU, different class of GPU. Was always a crap-shoot as to whether the same hard disk would work unaltered. Guess you lucked out.
Install onto the SSD and enjoy the benefits.
