Your machine is very old: Pentium 610D

It seems to run XP well. And this is an XP group.

The discussion was about moving XP drivers when reloading XP. It is
not OT at all.

I was referring to the idiot that keeps telling everyone to
use Win 10, not you.
Drivers for Win XP are very much on topic here.

Best resource for drivers IMHO (found every single one for two
rather archaic laptops I was given - a Dell and a Clevo) is:

https://www.snappy-driver-installer.org/download/

I used this (freeware):

http://snappy-driver-installer.sourc...Update.torrent

It's a massive 13GB download, but has all the drivers you
could possibly need. I downloaded a year ago and put it on 3 DVDs. I
copy them to the D: partition and run the program from there.

I had backed up the drivers with Double Driver before I
formatted, but for some strange reason neither the Synaptic driver on
one laptop or the sound on the other worked. They kept asking for a
sys file that DD had not saved.

I believe they offer a small client that scans your hardware
and downloads only the necessary drivers, but read up about it. It
might be adware. I didn't try it.

As an alternative, you could use (shareware) Driver Magician,
but that has given me a "wrong" driver once.
