    That CPU should be "ok", I have a Dell D820 with a T2700 Dual core (slower then yours). My Win10 works just fine. The trick is to let W10 boot up and "do it's thing". After 1 or 2 minutes it should be fine. After a fresh install it can take 30-60 minutes to 'stabilize'.

    Make sure cooling is adequate and fins/fans are clear of dust. You may need to open up that laptop for this...
