Windows 8 runs fine on a ThinkPad X41 Tablet from 2005. That's not 10 years, but it's pretty close. It has a Pentium M and 512 MiB of RAM. The only real issue is that you need to use the generic Microsoft video driver, which isn't quite acceptable for the video playback performance we're used to today (though it does support Aero). For all the other basics, it works great.
