I don't get all these failed updates. I have (among other antiques) a Motion Computing LE1700 that shipped with XP. It's got a lowly Core 2 Duo and 4GB of RAM. It's currently on 16299 and everything works. Not most things, everything. All the buttons, Infrared, Fingerprint Scanner, display rotation, you name it, it works. I had to download the Windows Journal stand-alone app to make sure it was 100% but that's another matter.
I did a clean install instead of an upgrade. Motion Computing's support page has every download available (Buttons, Motion Dashboard for activating Bluetooth and the Ricoh multi-media card reader were all I needed) and I didn't even have to run any of the progs in Compatibility Mode.
I'd like to know that too, believe me I would. In all my years toying with PC's haven't seen it this bad, batting a perfect 100% as of late on the "fail" scale. Still have a few more computers waiting in the wings (haven't updated them in a while) and just cringe at the thought of doing so.
All my machines have had clean installs as well, more than once I might add due to an update at some point borking something. The first few months after Windows 10's inception was a nightmare for me, the middle was just OK, now it seems we're back in the nightmare stage again.
Also have an old Toshiba laptop, same era/specs as your Motion, yup works pretty decently but then we've eluded the Creators Update up until this point.
Both my computers at work are running Windows 7 mainly because I can't afford to have an update screw them up. Already played that game on an Asus desktop (core i5/8GB) and Windows 10, said "no more".
So my gripe isn't using Windows 10, it's these updates that continually (for me) inflict pain and the cat and mouse game that ensues afterwords trying to find a pain medication that works.
