It might be worth noting here that Windows 10 can usually be persuaded
to install drivers for any OS later than XP.

I have an old computer, designed for XP, upgradeable to Vista, which is
now running Windows 10, using the Vista driver package that came with
the free upgrade, so if the hardware has the right connector for the
motherboard, he should be good to go, with a bit of faffing.
