Core 2 Duo was introduced 15 years ago (2006). Almost a decade before Windows 10 was released.

Windows 10, and all modern operating systems, are designed around the availability of modern GPUs. If you try running it on an ancient machine without modern graphics acceleration and without enough CPU power to handle it in software, it's going to feel sluggish.

Windows 10 is perfectly fine and snappy on every machine I've used it on in recent history.

Hardware getting 100x faster isn't a good reason to make your software 100x slower so that the user-experience feels the same as from 20 years ago.
