- Install Windows Xp Dell Inspiron Mini 10
The only problem with this, I found on my Dell Outlet purchased Windows 7 mini 10 with Windows Starter was that these instructions no matter how many times I tried just don't work. Given that that my Inspiron mini didn't come with a factory restore CD, I naturally checked for a recovery partition on the hard. Download the latest Dell Inspiron Mini 10 1010 driver for your computer's operating system. All downloads available on this website have been scanned by the latest anti-virus software and are guaranteed to be virus and malware-free. The driver files list updated days, we only focused on Dell drivers update, and developed a driver catching software running to catch the new driver and drivers on Dell official site, so you can find almost all Dell Inspiron Mini 10 drivers for your Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 32 bit and 64 bit.
I'm an old-school computer builder - as in the first computer I built came in a bag and required a soldering iron. As such, I admire optimization and positively loathe bloatware (such as Windows Vista) and decided that the 'ultimate test' I could perform (to see if WIn10 was anywhere near so lean as XP) was to try it out on my old Dell Mini 10 - jokingly named '10 for 10'.
System Specs
~ Single core with Hyper-Threading
~ 1.6 GHz CPU clock
~ 533 MHz FSB
1 GB RAM
1024x600 display
60 GB Corsair ForceGT SSD (non-original)
I came into this fully expecting to loathe Windows 10 and, thus far, it's beginning to grow on me - I'm amazed at how smoothly 10 runs on this tiny little netbook (shipped with XP). CPU utilization averages 9%, peaking to around 50% when performing basic desktop tasks. A tad sluggish in places but, given that this is a 5yo netbook, the overall performance is still remarkable.
The claim that 'Windows 10 runs on anything' is, thus far, holding true.
Only two caveats thus far:
1 ) Even as old as this particular model is, there are still a lot of these smaller netbooks in use world-wide. 1024x600 or 800x600 is their maximum (and native) resolution - below the 1024x768 minimum required by the default apps. Devs might consider adding 1024x600 / 800x600 versions of these apps to be used when the installation program detects lower-resolution LCD display.
2 ) REQUIRING users to log into a Microsoft account to utilize third-party apps such as Skype has to go! If one recalls, such strong-arming crippled Xbox One's standings among consoles (required Kinect and always-online), and rectifying it after-the-fact was a tacit admission of guilt. Although the apps feature a 'Sign in without Microsoft account' option, it doesn't work - this needs to be fixed and quick!
My Dell Inspiron Windows 10
I'll be back to update this post as the opportunity presents.
I have a dell inspiron mini 10. It boots from an external CD-ROM drive and goes through the first part of the windows XP home install with no problem, but on reboot it loses the CD-Rom drive when it goes into sysprep.
Any ideas on how to get around this to complete the install?

I was in a similar situation with a netbook and concluded that the problem was a driver issue during sysprep. I gave up and instead sought a solution by installing Windows XP from a USB stick rather than an external USB CD/DVD drive. In particular, I used this guide to get me started:
Of course, this assumes you can boot from USB. If you're not sure, plug in a USB stick and turn on the laptop, then access your BIOS and check the 'Boot Priority' (or similar name) settings. I recommend plugging in a USB stick as I had a computer that didn't show USB in the boot priority settings unless it detected a USB stick prior to entering the BIOS.
